Rezensionen

"While history is a widespread topic and popular reference point, it also has a distinctive discursive tradition in Georgia, which Nutsa Batiashvili masterfully dissects in this book. Using an impressive variety of sources, from school textbooks and statements by politicians and academics to fieldwork interviews ... she presents a colourful picture of the memory debates of the last decades ... . If you want to understand what's behind them and how Georgia ticks, you must read Nutsa Batiashvili's book." (Hubertus Jahn, Jahrbücher für Geschichte Osteuropas. jgo.e-reviews, Vol. 70 (1), 2022)
