Show more >The map of Europe has been redrawn several times during the XXth century, in peaceful or vio-lent ways and the shifting of borders has often been associated with forced migrations. But de-spite the fact that forced migration has been the fate of millions of people in Europe and at its margins, the memory of it has so far received little attention beyond national borders. This book examines how hosting states and societies, as well as groups that were forced to leave, deal with the memory of the loss in the long term. It explores the politics of history and the con-flicting interpretations of the loss associated with forced migrations. In a comparative and diachronic approach, the book depicts the interactions between the actors involved in the politics of history: their motivations, their resources and the public they seek to address. It looks at the ideological as well as political, scientific, economic and social contexts in which these actors evolve and traces the evolutions of these politics in time and space. It shows how the memory of territorial loss associated with forced migrations interferes with the present and how it has evolved within the political constrains of good neighborhood as well as of Euro-pean and international standards that have emerged since the end of the cold war. By confronting case studies in Europe and at its margins, the book analyses the emergence of a new approach to collective memory and memory culture, which includes all forms of public representations of the past. It is a significant contribution to a comparative approach on forced migrations and politics of history relating to loss.Show less >
