Drawing on contributions from history, cultural studies, film, and literary studies this collection offers fresh perspectives on the Great War and its legacy at the local, national, and international levels. More importantly, it showcases exciting new research on the experiences and memories of "forgotten" participants who have often been ignored in dominant narratives or national histories. </p> <p> Contributors to this international study highlight the transnational character of memory-making in the Great War's aftermath. No single memory of the war has prevailed, but many symbols, rituals, and expressions of memory connect seemingly disparate communities and wartime experiences. With groundbreaking new research on the role of Aboriginal peoples, ethnic minorities, women, artists, historians, and writers in shaping these expressions of memory, this book will be of great interest to readers from a variety of national and academic backgrounds. </p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>[These essays] are valuable studies of the memory and history of the First World War.--Alex Nordlund "H-War"<br>
