This book analyzes the relation of public memory to history, forgetting, and selective memory in three late-twentieth-century cities that have confronted major social or political traumas-Berlin, Buenos Aires, and New York.
Focusing on memory and amnesia in the postmodern world, Andreas Huyssen considers how nationalism, literature, art, politics and the media are obsessed with the past.
