Contested Histories and Monumental Pasts: Croatia’s Culture of Remembrance

The dissolution of communism and the Yugoslav state meant the topography of Partisan monuments lost their original function. Some monuments obtained new meanings, others were destroyed or damaged, and in many cases new monuments were built to reflect the independent countries that used to be part of the former Yugoslavia. Modern- day Croatia, emerging from a traumatic twentieth century characterized by the rise and fall of multiple empires, states, and ideologies, provides an illuminating case study in how its historical narrative has been defined (and redefined) through public monuments, especially those related to the Second World War.
