Douglas Carlton McKnight is an independent scholar whose research investigates the relationship between the history and memory of the Second World War.
“Masterfully interpreting various media of communication such as memorials, interviews, and novels, Douglas Carlton McKnight's Echoes of the Past is a needed contribution to memory studies. The author's close reading reveals how this oft-overlooked minority group's vernacular memory interacts with larger, official, and, at times, hostile memory discourses at the state, national, and transnational levels.” -- Eric A. Langenbacher, Teaching Professor of Government, Georgetown University “This book is a sensitive account of the split between official memory in the Austrian state of Carinthia and the silenced memory of the partisan war fought there against Nazi Germany. Too close to Yugoslav communists for Austrian nationalists, the Carinthian Slovene resistance has long been relegated to the margins of collective memory. McKnight shows how memory activists, including novelists, have helped create a new memory culture for the new Europe.” -- Jay Winter, Charles J. Stille Professor Emeritus of History, Yale University
