Product Description Foreword by Michael LambekThe death and destruction of war leave behind scars and fears that can last for generations.

This timely volume presents a range of empathetic yet critically sophisticated studies of ordinary people's memories of th About the Author Francesca Cappelletto is Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology and Cultural Anthropology at the University of Verona.
