A Tough Study

Let me give full disclosure here - I struggled mightily with this book for a graduate-level class. That said, the struggle was worthwhile in the sense of coming to terms with some issues in the discussion of "collective memory" and the way people's perceptions of the past evolve and change over time. The individual chapters of the text are pretty straight forward, to be honest, but trying to sort out a general thesis for the text is much more challenging. Still, by looking at sites as diverse as Berlin, New York and South America, Huyssen offers a way to consider how memory and history come together to build a sort of public identity. Certainly not for the casual reader, but for a history student, this should probably almost be a required read.

Muy buen libro.

Excelente estudio sobre los efectos de pasado en la interpretación del presente así como sobre la memoria. Diferentes artículos sobre los efectos de los cambios en las grandes ciudades y sobre como nos adaptamos a ellos.
