Abstract
The volume reviewed consists in the study of memorial practices as means of reinventing the traditions of local ethnic communities, this time the French community, and their relationship with the cultural practices (folkloric, literary, historiographic, political) of the respective communities. At the same time the author captures the social dynamics, the mentalities and behaviors associated to memorial practices, the way in which they enact identity.
