This book looks at this difficult, silenced past and shifts the usual focus from migrants to those who stayed behind and to the new immigrants who came to the “emptied” towns.The research, based on individual memories, deals with silences and competing national discourses, reasons to stay and leave, hybrid border ethnic identities, and the renewal of Istrian society and its new social relations. It is a self-critical reflection on an ignored chapter of national history, which, with an empathetic approach, allows the silence to speak.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \t\u003cem\u003e“The author reconstructs multiple aspects of migrations, which she places outside the national framework which is the most significant achievement of this academic work ... she focuses not only on aspects of “remembering,” but also on everything else that is shrouded in silence and yet no less important.”\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e• Mila Orlić\u003c\/strong\u003e, University of Rijeka\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \tList of Illustrations\u003cbr\u003e \tAcknowledgements\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eIntroduction: \u003c\/strong\u003eProblems and Frameworks of Memory in Ethnological Study\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 1. \u003c\/strong\u003eDifficult Pasts, Silence, and Conflicts of Memory\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 2. \u003c\/strong\u003eThe Exodus: Those Who Left, Those Who Stayed, and Those Who Came\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 3. \u003c\/strong\u003eAfter the Exodus: The Renovation of Istrian Society, Social Relations and Heritage\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eConclusion: \u003c\/strong\u003eLet the Silence Speak!\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \tReferences\u003cbr\u003e \tIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Berghahn Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51042813051223,"sku":"9781805390381","price":89.1,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781805390381.jpg?v=1750955751","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/silences-and-divided-memories-the-exodus-and-its-legacy-in-post-war-istrian-society-9781805390381","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
