About the Book

This text covers the debate about the crisis of memory and the dearch to understand the relationship between the past and present, remembering and forgetting. Petar Ramadonovic challenges the prevalent, Aristolean understanding of memory as mere repeated presentation of the past in the present through a critique of the most significant concepts of memory, from Plato to Nietzche. This book examines the power of traumatic memory in history. Through an analysis of Cathy Caruth and a revisionist interpretation of Toni Morrison's "Beloved" Ramadanovic shows how the memory of the Holocaust and slavery has shaped American identity. This study of memory places trauma, identity and race under the intellectual microscope and should be of use to literary and cultural scholars working on memory, as well as readers seeking to learn more about the relationship between history and memory.
