Abstrakt: This essay explores the memory wars between the affirmative and critical views of the national past that have broken out in many countries during the past decades. It analyzes the scholarly attacks on the grand narrative of Western Civilization, inspired by postcolonial, gender and Holocaust approaches. It continues by pointing to the nationalist backlash against so-called cancel culture and critical race theory, typical of populist mythmaking. The reflection concludes with a call for a history of the present that will end the pointless polemics and lead to memory peace.
