'This book is a rigorously researched, theoretically rich, and conceptually ambitious study of memory in two contemporary Polish communities shaped by postwar migration. Łukianow introduces practical definitions for the still-emerging field of memory studies and demonstrates that multidirectionality and agonism are not just ethical orientations but are shaped by unevenly distributed forms of symbolic recognition. The author’s meticulous analysis and theoretical rigor make this book a much-needed intervention in memory studies of Central Europe.'Karolina Ćwiek-Rogalska, Professor at the Institute of Slavic Studies, Polish Academy of Sciences.
