Abstract

The article discusses a book that introduces the concept of the 'global East' as a 'problem space,' highlighting how countries within this category are often perceived as underdeveloped compared to the West. The author, Jie-Hyun Lim, explores themes such as victimhood nationalism and the construction of national histories, arguing that the distinctions between East and West are fluid and should be deconstructed. The book is divided into three parts: 'remembering,' 'imagining,' and 'mobilizing,' each addressing different aspects of historical memory and its implications for identity and politics. Lim advocates for a pluralistic collective memory and critiques Eurocentrism, suggesting the need for a 'global critical memory' that encompasses diverse historical narratives.
