Reviews

"'Structures of memory' refers to the 'material projects' that memorialize either victims of the Nazis or heroes of the resistance to them. To show that it takes to establish such memorials, Jennifer A. Jordan examines both sites that have and have not been successfully memorialized. Their success, she demonstrates, depends on a consensus that they're not too large, too inconvenient, or too much in the way or more profitable uses." - German Studies Review "[An] impressive scholarly accomplishment" - Canadian Journal of Sociology Online "[Jordan's] book is an intelligent and welcome contribution to the sociological study of collective memory." - American Journal of Sociology "This is an original and fascinating work that will be a welcome addition to the ever-growing conversation on the cultural functions of memorialization, official and vernacular memorial processes, and the relation between remembering and forgetting.
