Romania's specific territorial development and its diverse religious and ethnic composition determined identity construction and commemorative practice, which granted Orthodox ethnic Romanians a privileged position over minorities (Hungarians, Germans, Jews, Catholics, Protestants) throughout the period. Bucur illuminates the gendered aspect of remembering by investigating who remembers and what is considered worthy of remembrance. She argues convincingly that the state (whether monarchical, fascist, or communist) consistently attempted to regulate and instrumentalize commemorative practices, yet it could not compel adherence at the local level. This led to a disjuncture between official and vernacular memories of WW I and WW II and, in the communist era, to the development of counter-memories (i.e., counter to official narratives). Romanian memory of war stressed the heroism and suffering of ethnic Romanian soldiers and silenced the memory of women and minorities; topics such as violence committed by Romanians and the Holocaust were all but ignored until the postcommunist period. This excellent study analyzes commemorative rituals, monuments, literature, film, and memoirs to great effect. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Most levels/libraries. -- ChoiceG. F. Schroeder, St. John's University/College of St. Benedict, Minnesota, August 2010 (G. F. Schroeder, St. John's University/College of St. Benedict, Minnesota 2010-01-00)"In this impressive study of Romanian memory from 1877-78 to 2007, historian Bucur demonstrates that Western-centric narratives cannot adequately explain eastern European experiences.... Highly recommended." —Choice (Choice)"[A] historical tour de force, compellingly written and powerfully demonstrated.... Bucur's truly illuminating study explores the Romanians' tortuously dramatic efforts to accomplish a long-delayed coming to terms with their past." —Slavic Review (Slavic Review)"An engaging read, written in an elegant style accessible to both academics and non academics, this volume will be of interest to historians, scholars of Romanian history and politics, as well as anthropologists and sociologists alike." —European Legacy (European Legacy 2011-01-00)"[Bucur] is to be congratulated on a superb piece of scholarship which both sheds light on existing questions and raises important new ones. As such it can be recommended to teachers and researchers alike." —European History Quarterly (European History Quarterly) Read more About the Author Maria Bucur is John W.
