The mental maps of people who live on this territory are shaped by memories of Soviet socialism. \u003ci\u003eBaltic Socialism Remembered\u003c\/i\u003e captures the workings of the memory of diverse groups of people who inhabit the region: teachers, officials, young people, women, believers. It comes as no surprise that their memories do not overlap, but often contradict to other groups and to official narratives. \u003ci\u003eBaltic Socialism Remembered\u003c\/i\u003e is a rare attempt to engage with the mnemonic worlds of social groups and individuals rather than with memory politics and monumental history. The contributors try to chart unpredictable ways in which public and national memory affect individual memory, and vice versa. Understanding complexity and diversity of memory workings in such compact region as the Baltic states will enable a more nuanced policy-making.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book was originally published as a special issue of \u003cem\u003eJournal of Baltic Studies.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54258914492760,"sku":"9781138560055","price":112.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781138560055_06d5cfb1-3a46-438c-96d7-39a8f8842c7d.jpg?v=1777725032","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/baltic-socialism-remembered-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
