Description:	In 2020, a new book was published by Indiana University Press: 'The Burden of the Past: History, Memory, and Identity in Contemporary Ukraine', edited by Anna Wylegała and Małgorzata Głowacka-Grajper. Wulf Kansteiner has described the book as 'a milestone of the scholarship about Eastern European politics of memory and a compelling plea for the need to further de-Westernize the field of memory studies'. Olenka Pevny (Director, CUS) discussed the book with four of its contributors: Olesya Khromeychuk (Kings College London), Daria Mattingly (University of Cambridge), Matthew Pauly (Michigan State University), and Anna Wylegała (Institute of Philosophy and Sociology, Polish Academy of Sciences). The conversation took place in July 2020.
