Migration and Memory: Representations of Migration in Europe since 1960

Christiane Hintermann (Editor), Christina Johansson (Editor)

Publications: BookCollection

Abstract

The contributions in this anthology explore the linkage between two prominently debated topics: migration on the one hand and memory on the other. It addresses the question of how (im)migration histories as well as (im)migrants themselves and their histories are collectively remembered and represented in different European countries. School textbooks as well as migration museums and exhibitions are analyzed for this purpose. The authors challenge the marginalization of the rich European (im)migration history in the collective memories of many European countries and therewith tackle issues which are inherent to today‘s immigration societies.
