Summary

This edited collection explores the multifaceted experiences of post-socialist generations in Southeast Europe through the lens of postmemory. At different levels of analysis, the concept of “memory in transition” highlights a historical period where radical changes and transformations are shaping different, non-linear, and often ambiguous narrations of the socialist past and, in some cases, of its violent end. The various chapters examine the reverberations of this memory in people’s lived experience, as well as in politics, education and the urban memoryscape, in the context of geopolitical turmoil and generational change.
