The Collapse of the USSR and the Emergence of National Memory in Post-Soviet History Textbooks
Edited by Li Bennich-Björkman and Sergiy Kurbatov
This volume brings together case studies that illustrate how the fall of the USSR led to the rise of successor states with their own historicized collective memories. Analyses juxtapose history textbooks for secondary schools and universities and explore how they aim to create understandings as well as identities that are politically usable.
