Remembering the Cold War examines how more than two decades since the collapse of the Soviet Union Cold War legacies continue to play crucial roles in defining national identities and shaping international relations around the globe. Given the Cold Warâs blurred definition â it has neither a widely accepted commencement date nor unanimous conclusion - what is to be remembered? This book illustrates that there is in fact a huge body of âremembranceâ and that it is more pertinent to ask: what should be included and what can be overlooked? Over five sections this richly illustrated volume considers case studies of Cold War remembering from different parts of the world and engages with growing theorisation in the field of memory studies specifically in relation to war. David Lowe and Tony Joel afford careful consideration to agencies that identify with being âvictimsâ of the Cold War. In addition the concept of arenas of articulation which envelops the myriad spaces in which the remembering commemorating memorialising and even revising of Cold War history takes place is given prominence. .
