The University of Chicago Press On Collective Memory Heritage of Sociology Series
Book SynopsisHow do we use our mental images of the present to reconstruct our past? Maurice Halbwachs (1877-1945) addressed this question for the first time in his work on collective memory, which established him as a major figure in the history of sociology. This volume, the first comprehensive English-language translation of Halbwach's writings on the social construction of memory, fills a major gap in the literature on the sociology of knowledge. Halbwachs' primary thesis is that human memory can only function within a collective context. Collective memory, Halbwachs asserts, is always selective; various groups of people have different collective memories, which in turn give rise to different modes of behavior. Halbwachs shows, for example, how pilgrims to the Holy Land over the centuries evoked very different images of the events of Jesus' life; how wealthy old families in France have a memory of the past that diverges sharply from that of the nouveaux riches; and how working class construct

GINGKO Memories of a Bygone Age: Qajar Persia and
Book SynopsisSet against the backdrop of Iran s struggle against the rising powers of Russia and Britain, the memoirs of Mirza Riza Khan Arfa -ed-Dowleh otherwise known as Prince Arfa (1853 1902) are packed with picaresque adventures as the prince tells the story of his rise from humble provincial beginnings to the heights of the Iranian state. With this translation, his incredible story is brought to life for the first time in English. Prince Arfa writes with arresting wit about the deadly intrigues of the Qajar court. Lamentingly, but resolutely, he chronicles the decline of Iran from a once great empire to an almost bankrupt, lawless state, in which social unrest is channelled and exploited by the clergy. He describes the complex interactions between Iran and Europe, including an account of Naser-od-Din Shah s profligate visits to Britain and France; the splendor and eccentricities of the doomed Tsar Nicholas II s court; the Tsar s omen-laden coronation; and his own favor with the Tsarina, who would grant him concessions on matters of vital importance to his country. The result is a memoir of extraordinary political intrigue. "Trade ReviewPrince Arfa was an Iranian diplomat of modest origins and exceptional linguistic ability, being fluent in several languages, especially Russian. He combined an empathy with foreigners unusual for an Iranian of that time with diplomatic skill and presence of mind. An intriguing aspects of this memoir is the manner in which the Qajar regime deployed an official with these talents and the kind and degree of responsibility they gave him. His memoirs will be of particular interest to scholars of Iranian-Russian relations for his negotiations on the north-west boundary of Iran; his averting of a clash in Khorasan between the Islamic clerics of Mashhad and a Russian military presence dealing with quarantine; his account of the traditional practice at the Russian court, and public resentment of its expenditure; and the significant role he played in the negotiations for the Russian loan to Iran in 1900. His diplomacy also extended to other countries, such as involving Sweden in a dispute between Iran and Italy. His memories are of more general interest for their amusing portrayal of the events of Nasr al-Din Shah s journey to Europe in 1887 89. He also provides a lively account of aspects of life in Iran in the Qajar period, of the culture of childhood and traditional education; of health, diet and, the variety of practice in traditional medicine; and of the role of poetry daily life. His memories demonstrate the Iranian fascination with European women, already highlighted by recent research on their images in the Iranian houses of the time. Michael No?l-Clarke has provided a clear, lively and concise translation accompanied by informative annotation and biographical notes. --Vanessa Martin, Royal Holloway, University of London";Memories of a Bygone Age: Qajar Persia and Imperial Russia 1853-1902, by Prince Arfa'. Translated and edited by Michael Noel-Clarke. Gingko Library, 2016, 306 pp, ISBN 978-1-909942-86-8, GBP30.00 Reviewed by James Buchan Mirza Reza Khan, Arfa' od-Dowleh, later Prince Arfa', was an Iranian diplomat and man of letters of the late Qajar period. Born in modest circumstances in Tabriz in about 1853, and bred to the seminary, he entered Nassereddin Shah's service and became in succession Consul-General in Tiflis in Georgia, Minister in St. Petersburg, Ambassador in Istanbul, Minister of Justice, and Iran's representative to the League of Nations. Having amassed a fortune, Prince Arfa built fine houses in and near Tiflis and the Moorish villa in the Moneghetti district of Monaco now known as the Villa Ispahan. Just before his death in 1937, Prince Arfa' returned to Tehran and put in order his memoirs, which were published as the Khaterate perans Arfa' in Tehran in 1965, and re-issued in 1999. Michael Noel-Clarke, a former chairman of this society who is married to Prince Arfa"s great-granddaughter, has translated into English much of the first half of the memoirs, ending in 1901. Noel-Clarke's version casts a brilliant side-light on Iranian life and Nassereddin's Court and administration under the shadow of British and Russian encroachment. It portrays an attractive young man who through his talent as a linguist and versifier, luck, boldness and prudence, and by attaching himself to a succession of great men, negotiates a perilous and illusive Court. It is a handsome book, wellmade, -printed and -illustrated, not expensive, and provided with not one but two silk bookmarks. As so often with political memoirs, the early pages have the most charm before success, money and power bring in what Adam Smith called "the corruption of our moral sentiments." Reza's youth passed in the last truly Iranian age, before the pressure of the world caused that people to modify distinctive habits of thought and conduct. Son of a cloth merchant in Tabriz, Reza was destined for the turban before a flood in 1872 destroyed his father's stock. He was sent to Istanbul to work in the shop of a relation, Hajji Reza Aqa Salmasi. Passing through Erivan, he heard for the first time the words "geography" and "Australia" and saw, in a sort of epiphany, the shortcomings of his traditional education. In Istanbul, Mirza Reza learned good French and some English, but the climate disagreed with him. Returning through Tiflis, he was engaged as a clerk at the Iranian Consulate-General, where he learned to speak Russian and to please European ladies, the guardian angels of his career. In 1878, as Nassereddin Shah travelled through the Caucasus on his second European trip, his Russian-language interpreter took the wrong pills, and Reza was taken on as substitute. He acquitted himself so well as to be appointed a secretary at the ConsulateGeneral in Tiflis, and then, in 1883, the interpreter for the joint commission to delimit the border between Russia and Khorasan. There, he gained the favour of the Shah by persuading the Russians to withdraw the frontier so as not to cut off the village of Lotfabad from its farms and pastures. He also attached himself to the Amin osSoltan, later prime minister. Despatched to Enzeli to accompany to Tehran the new Italian minister, Alessandro de Rege di Donato and his countess and her companion, Mirza Reza started to see his homeland through a foreigner's eyes. In 1889, Mirza Reza was included in the party for Nassereddin Shah's third visit to Europe. He records unforgettable scenes: the Shah trying to give his courtiers the slip to roam Warsaw incognito, or leaving a ball in Edinburgh because he could not bear to see the kilted Scotsmen's knees. At Buchanan Castle near Stirling, seat of the Duke of Montrose, after the Shah had gone to bed, Mirza Reza and the prime minister were rowed by moonlight across the lake by two sisters, one of them singing. The Amin os-Soltan said in his ear: "If I spend the rest of my life in prison and in fetters, I would not exchange this moment." On his return, Mirza Reza was appointed Consul-General in Tiflis, and given a charge on the issue of all Iranian passports in the Caucasus. He discovered a taste for money. Five years later, he became minister in St Petersburg, and his memoirs go downhill. 48 His good fortune, which up to then had been a matter of providences and premonitions, becomes his own doing. The ladies cease to be angels, but frail creatures who cannot resist his charm. At the Empire Theatre in London, he had hypnotised the Princess of Wales. Now, the Tsarina seeks him out in a crowded room. The reader begins to doubt him. His account of how he outwitted Counts Lamsdorf and Witte over the terms of the Russian loan to Iran of 1900 is especially hard to credit. At this point, the translator, with the ruthlessness of all posterity, calls a halt and, but for a haunting account of the classical dancer Monavvar-e Shirazi, ends his labours. We thus miss, amid much of little value, some matters of interest and importance. Noel-Clarke has aimed his translation at the general reader, or rather that general reader who can navigate what the founder of the Iran Society, Edward Browne, called the "appalling complexity" of Qajar nomenclature: that confusion of Molks, Dowlehs and Saltanehs that is "one of the great obstacles to the popularization of Persian history." Noel-Clarke attends to this problem, providing from the best sources a glossary of the leading figures of the late Qajar Court and public service. Hence the second book-mark.

Columbia University Press Feeling Memory
Book SynopsisWhat did it feel like to be a child in France during World War II? Feeling Memory is an affective exploration of children’s lives in wartime France and the ways they are remembered.Trade ReviewA sensitive and imaginative exploration of the connections among war, childhood, and memory that demonstrates the meaning of emotions and feelings as historical forces. -- Alessandro Portelli, author of The Text and the Voice: Writing, Speaking, Democracy, and American LiteratureFeeling Memory deftly weaves together 'memory stories' and the latest scholarship to provide an entirely fresh approach to World War II in France. The result is a richly textured, nuanced study of the emotions of history that offers us new ways to think about children’s experiences and the places and events that shape our memory of the past. -- Shannon L. Fogg, author of Stealing Home: Looting, Restitution, and Reconstructing Jewish Lives in France, 1942-1947Feeling Memory theorizes a history of a present where events matter, memories stick and accrete, time ruptures, experiences generate, and little worlds proliferate around sounds, rhythms, and things. It experiments, listening for the intensities and unknown potential of an affective history from the inside out where the things of the world speak differently to one another. -- Kathleen C. Stewart, author of Ordinary AffectsIn a compelling mixture of theory, reflections on method, and vivid vignettes, Feeling Memory explores the emotions that animate and bind memory in oral history. Its insights extend well beyond the interview, however: Dodd shows what a history of emotions can achieve once affect is seen not just in terms of social prescriptions but as the glue that binds memory and relationships past and present. -- Michael Roper, author of Afterlives of War: A Descendants' HistoryFeeling Memory provides a nuanced and sophisticated explication of how the emotional content of memory shapes the remembered past into the present. Dodd contends that all historians—not just oral historians—need to take affective forms of knowledge more seriously and to search for the traces of feelings in their sources and analyses. The memory stories that are at the heart of the book are truly engaging and often moving. They make the book come alive. -- Ellen R.

Harvard University Press Race Reunion The Civil War in American Memory
Book SynopsisNo historical event has left as deep an imprint on America's collective memory as the Civil War. In the war's aftermath, Americans had to embrace and cast off a traumatic past. David Blight explores the perilous path of remembering and forgetting, and reveals its tragic costs to race relations and America's national reunion.Trade ReviewThe most comprehensive and insightful study of the memory of the Civil War yet to appear…Blight tells this story in a lucid style and with an entirely appropriate measure of indignation…Race and Reunion demonstrates forcefully that…it still matters very much how we remember the Civil War. -- Eric Foner * New York Times Book Review *[This book] will strongly influence the writing of post–Civil War history for decades to come. Indeed, Race and Reunion is surely one of the four or five most important works in American history written in the past decade…Blight explains one of the most troubling questions for the understanding of American history: why it became accepted wisdom from the 1870s to the 1960s, among American historians as well as white students from grade school through college, that states’ rights, not slavery, was the cause of the Civil War or, as many Southerners have long insisted on our calling it, ‘the War Between the States.’ -- David Brion Davis * New York Review of Books *As Blight conclusively demonstrates, the United States was caught up almost immediately in a ‘tormented relationship between healing and justice,’ and the abolitionist, emancipationist view of the war’s aims quickly receded into the background…African Americans kept alive their own memories of slavery, the war and Reconstruction…but not until long after World War I did they begin to find a hearing for their grievances and yearnings. -- Jonathan Yardley * Washington Post Book World *This is a story of mammoth and tragic sweep, with consequences that are very much alive in present-day America. David Blight tells it with a passionate, soulful voice, a voice of conviction based on an intimate knowledge of a sweeping array of sources. Race and Reunion is a brilliant book. * Providence Sunday Journal *Blight’s analysis is compelling. His writing has a lyrical quality that underscores the tragic story he has to tell. This is an important book that should command a wide readership among those interested in race relations in the US. It should be required reading in Mississippi. * Times Higher Education Supplement *[Blight’s] deeply researched and carefully crafted study argues that after the war white veterans, Union and Confederate, facilitated the reconciliation of the two sections by consciously avoiding the fact that slavery had brought on the sectional conflict, choosing instead to celebrate the courage that they and their comrades had brandished in battle. Less consciously, they and their fellow Americans found this new narrative—this rewriting of history based on a kind of historical amnesia—comforting and restorative. Reunification became a joyful event, but it came at a steep price. After Reconstruction, Northerners and Southerners alike took hold of a ‘Lost Cause’ ideology that showed pity toward the South in its defeat, accepted Jim Crow policies that deprived blacks of their civil rights, and pushed for policies and practices that would ensure white supremacy across the land. Blight carefully avoids grinding axes as he makes his argument, which taken as a whole helps to explain why America today continues to wrestle with the seemingly endless and divisive issue of race…Here is a powerful book, artfully written by a scholar of learned poise who believes that by knowing the past we might better know ourselves. -- Glenn W. LaFantasie * Salon *Denying that the South fought for slavery was a key element in a decades-long ideological battle eventually settled in a devil’s bargain: reconciliation between whites North and South, purchased at the price of racial segregation…Race and Reunion is a deeply unsettling, pioneering work that raises far more questions than it can possibly answer: questions that should continue to trouble us…The myths and lies forged over a century ago still have us locked in their chains. * Philadelphia City Paper *Blight’s eclecticism and erudition make this sweeping historical saga a pleasure to read…Race and Reunion challenges us to take seriously the clashes over the Civil War’s contested legacies and symbols, which Americans continue to debate. -- Catherine Clinton * American Prospect *Blight demonstrates how, in the aftermath of the war, the needs of memory and the excessive focus on battlefield experience all but obliterated the role played by African Americans, and the promises made them. All told, this thoughtful, timely study presents a somewhat pessimistic view of the role played by the memory of this key conflict in the making of American's self-image, which, in the turn to sentiment rather than fact, lost much of its ideological integrity. -- Fionghuala Sweeney * History *One of the most fascinating and rewarding scholarly books of the past few years for the general reader with an interest in American history…Blight is scrupulously fair in his judgments. He is equally alert to the Northern white self-congratulation that inflated the legend of the Underground Railroad and the racist pretension that shaped the version of history peddled by the United Daughters of the Confederacy. He is especially alert to the way that even-handedness has served as a tool for suppressing memory of the moral issues at the heart of the Civil War by turning attention to the spectacle of combat and the bravery of the soldiers on both sides…It is a contribution to contemporary politics and culture that deserves a wide audience. -- Thomas J. Brown, author of Civil War CanonThis book effectively traces both the growth and development of what became, by the turn of the twentieth century and the debut of The Birth of a Nation, the dominant racist representation of the Civil War. A major work of American history, this volume’s documentation of the active and exceedingly articulate voices of protest against this inaccurate and unjust imagining of history is just one of its accomplishments. * Publishers Weekly *Blight has distilled a mass of historical material into an impressive, clearly written volume that…reads well and rings true. * Kirkus Reviews *Blight traces America’s tragic pursuit of national reunification and reconciliation after the Civil War at the expense of the conflict’s emancipationist legacy. He ponders such threats to this legacy as Lost Cause myths, fading and sometimes revisionist veteran recollections, financial panics and commercial greed, political scandals, ‘loyal’ slave narratives, urbanization and industrialization, and the emotionally charged rituals of war-related celebration days among others. The author resurrects the voices and prose of African American activists who fought to preserve the emancipationist legacy in an indifferent, even hostile, milieu. * Library Journal *Blight recounts the strong tide in the post-war years for ‘reunion on Southern terms’…Freed blacks suffered the consequence of the ascendance of a sentimental view of the war and amnesia about its central issue. -- Gilbert Taylor * Booklist *Table of Contents* Prologue *1.

De Gruyter Remembering the Holocaust in a Racial State: Holocaust Memory in South Africa from Apartheid to Democracy (1948–1994)
Book SynopsisThe lens of apartheid-era Jewish commemorations of the Holocaust in South Africa reveals the fascinating transformation of a diasporic community. Through the prism of Holocaust memory, this book examines South African Jewry and its ambivalent position as a minority within the privileged white minority. Grounded in research in over a dozen archives, the book provides a rich empirical account of the centrality of Holocaust memorialization to the community’s ongoing struggle against global and local antisemitism. Most of the chapters focus on white perceptions of the Holocaust and reveals the tensions between the white communities in the country regarding the place of collective memories of suffering in the public arena. However, the book also moves beyond an insular focus on the South African Jewish community and in very different modality investigates prominent figures in the anti-apartheid struggle and the role of Holocaust memory in their fascinating journeys towards freedom.

University Press of Florida Ninety Miles and a Lifetime Away: Memories of
Book SynopsisBringing together an unprecedented number of extensive personal stories, this book shares the triumphs and heartbreaking moments experienced by some of the first Cubans to come to the United States after Fidel Castro took power in 1959. Ninety Miles and a Lifetime Away is a moving look inside fifteen years of migration that changed the two countries and transformed the lives of the people who found themselves separated from their homeland.David Powell presents interviews with refugees who left Cuba between 1959 and the 1962 Missile Crisis, as well as those who embarked on the Freedom Flights of the late 1960s and early 1970s. During these years more than 600,000 Cubans migrated to the US, some by way of other countries and many arriving in Miami with only a few clothes and pocket money. In their own words, exiles describe why they left the island, how they prepared for departure, what situations they faced when they arrived in the US, and how they integrated into American life.Offering historical background that illuminates this pivotal period in the context of the Cold War, Powell shows how the US government’s Cuban refugee assistance program had far-reaching effects on refugee policy, bilingual education, and child welfare programs. The testimonies in this book include new information about low-cost “Cuban Loans” that enabled young exiles to attend US colleges, preparing many to be builders and leaders in their adopted country today.A powerful portrayal of the initial effects of a revolution that began a new era in Cuba’s relationship with the world, this book preserves rare accounts of the motivations and struggles of early Cuban exiles in the words of the emigres themselves, adding gripping detail to the history of the modern Cuban diaspora.Trade Review“These vivid accounts remind us that history is lived by ordinary people, whose memories are invaluable.” - Latino Magazine“An intensely personal collection of memories from people who lived through a tragic epoch of Cuban history that became a transformative period for Florida.” - Tallahassee DemocratTable of Contents Contents Preface xi A Note on Names xvii Narrators xix Introduction 1 1.

Cambridge University Press The Torn Veil Matthews Exposition of the Death of Jesus 139 Society for New Testament Studies Monograph Series Series Number 139
Book SynopsisIn this 2006 text, Daniel M. Gurtner examines the meaning of the rending of the veil at the death of Jesus in Matthew 27:51a by considering the functions of the veil in the Old Testament and its symbolism in Second Temple and Rabbinic Judaism. Gurtner incorporates these elements into a compositional exegesis of the rending text in Matthew. He concludes that the rending of the veil is an apocalyptic assertion like the opening of heaven revealing, in part, end-time images drawn from Ezekiel 37. Moreover, when the veil is torn Matthew depicts the cessation of its function, articulating the atoning role of Christ's death which gives access to God not simply in the sense of entering the Holy of Holies (as in Hebrews), but in trademark Matthean Emmanuel Christology: 'God with us'. This underscores the significance of Jesus' atoning death in the first gospel.Trade ReviewReview of the hardback: 'Gurtner has produced an extremely valuable study that clarifies many of the issues that revolve around this small but highly significant detail in the Matthean text.' The Expository TimesReview of the hardback: '…the work is a model example that others would do well to follow.
