The first of its kind, this book traces the construction of postmemory in post-communist Romania.Focusing on the processes, gaps, agents, and contradictions of postmemory, it examines a range of topics across a variety of disciplines, addressing questions of museums and musealization, law and memory, political trials and retrospective justice, and postmemory in a digital context, while also considering marginalized and forgotten voices, such as those of Roma populations and abandoned children. Moving away from a focus on the institutional mechanisms of transitional justice or officially sanctioned historical narratives, Between the Memory and Post-Memory of Communism in Romania brings together some of the leading voices in the field of memory studies in Romania to adopt a more pluralistic and diverse approach to the communist past.It will therefore appeal to scholars of sociology, anthropology, museum studies and history with interests in the communist period in Eastern Europe.
