Analogous to a Canadian artist's assemblage of stories and memory maps, these 11 essays compiled by historians Opp and Walsh (Carleton U., Ottawa) study public memory and commemorative practices as part of a complex melange of community, personal identity, space, and local place. Drawing on the concepts of sites of memory, imagined communities, and local memory fatigue due to globalization, each contributor treats a specific geographic location in various contexts. For example, a study of the indigenous Six Nations explores the complex dynamics of power relationships that inform public memory and new political spaces. The challenges posed by digital technology on storing and retrieving time capsules are addressed. The book includes photographs and maps. Distributed by UTP Distribution.
