Trade Review
"Commemorating Trauma is a detailed studiy whose main contribution is to document the elusive nuances and neroses of traumatic collective memories ... " -American Journal of Sociology "Indispensable reading for anyone working on the Commune and on the second half of the nineteenth century in France." -- -David Bell Duke University "A solid, well-researched, well-argued book that sits masterfully at an intersection of French history, politics, literature, and culture." -- -Lawrence Schehr University of Illinois, Champaign/Urbana
