A set or articles (2003) is introduced that examine the political construction of collective memory. Examples are given of traditions being re-created or obscured for the sake of a desired future. Research trends in the politics of memory are surveyed. Although much of the work focuses on distortion & exploitation of the past, some -- eg, Paul Ricoeur (2000) -- contemplate a just & responsible representation of history. The accompanying articles exploring right uses of political memory are abstracted. E. Taylor
