Troubles with Remembering; or, The Seven Sins of Memory Studies: [Review]

Research output: Contribution to journalBook/Arts/Article review

Abstract

Memory, unlike history, works best when looking backwards. Let us therefore begin at the end. The bottom line for an assessment of the collected essays on Remembering the Troubles, edited by Jim Smyth,
is conveniently summed up by Thomas Bartlett in a blurb on the book’s cover: “the volume is a highly significant addition to the slim corpus of essential works on the Northern Ireland Troubles”. Now that we
have the routine business of book reviewing out of the way, let us proceed to consider some of the
underlying complications in the study of historical memory
