In 'Governing the Dead', Linh D. Vu explains how the Chinese Nationalist regime consolidated control by honoring its millions of war dead, allowing China to emerge rapidly from the wreckage of the first half of the twentieth century to become a powerful state, supported by strong nationalistic sentiment and institutional infrastructure. The fall of the empire, internecine conflicts, foreign invasion, and war-related disasters claimed twenty to thirty million Chinese lives. Vu draws on government records, newspapers, and petition letters from mourning families to analyze how the Nationalist regime's commemoration of the dead and compensation of the bereaved actually fortified its central authority. By enshrining the victims of violence as national ancestors, the Republic of China connected citizenship to the idea of the nation, promoting loyalty to the 'imagined community.'

By looking at state-sponsored memory projects, such as memorials, commemorations, and historical museums, this book reveals that the East German communist regime obsessively monitored and attempted to control public representations of the past to legitimize its rule. It demonstrates that the regime's approach to memory politics was not stagnant, but rather evolved over time to meet different demands and potential threats to its legitimacy. Ultimately the party found it increasingly difficult to control the public portrayal of the past, and some dissidents were able to turn the party's memory

Commémorer la guerre. Une habitude que la France, depuis Sedan, n'a cessé d'entretenir pour célébrer ses glorieuses défaites ou ses retentissantes victoires. Il est peu de pays qui honore avec tant de soin, de persévérance et de moyens la mémoire des événements et des hommes, semant ici et là les monuments du souvenir.Inventées après la déroute de 1870, ces fêtes nationales, parfois appelées « journées de guerre », se structurent tout au long de la IIIe République. Après la Grande Guerre, qui en fixe les rituels, ces célébrations deviennent le réceptacle de toutes les passions nationales. Même Vichy n'osera pas remettre en cause cet instrument d'assignation identitaire et de communion mémorielle dédié à l'écriture du roman national. La victoire des Alliés, puis les guerres coloniales, ne feront qu'enrichir et compliquer ces questions d'identité.Menée à l'échelle du pays, mariant archives nationales et locales, l'étude de Rémi Dalisson raconte plus d'un siècle de « guerre des mémoires », mémoires toujours incandescentes, comme en témoigne la célébration polémique de la fin de la guerre d'Algérie. Il montre que les fêtes de guerre, à la différence d'autres commémorations nationales et en dépit de la disparition des acteurs, restent l'un des espaces centraux du débat politique national, l'un des lieux de mémoire primordiaux de la République.
