Rezensionen

"The Palgrave Handbook of State-Sponsored History after 1945 offers to the reader a nuanced explanation of the operationality of state-sponsored history, rather than a detailed analysis of the political and social conditions in which these mechanisms are established. Thus, and despite being destined for a specialized audience in fields such as history, memory studies ... its descriptive narratives make it approachable and facilitate navigating through the theories and concepts identified throughout the book and understanding the tight links between them." (Cira Palli-Aspero, International Studies Review, August 28, 2018)
