A multidisciplinary work which examines how individuals and institutions shaped memory in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The book studies diverse "memory-sites" to show how memory and history are fought over, shaped, and put to personal and ideological use.
A multidisciplinary work, Memory of the Modern examines stock markets, tango dancers, vagabond murderers, neurology, monument destruction, and colonial policies to document how individuals and institutions shaped memory in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Wonderfully written, the book studies these diverse "memory-sites" to show how memory and history are fought over, shaped, and put to personal and ideological use.
