Consuming the Contested Heritage of War
This chapter looks specifically at the Somme region, which for many years has remained one of the most popular areas of the former front lines for battlefield tourists. The author begins by exploring how the complex notions of British and English national identities are bound up with tourists’ emotional attachments toward the battlefields and then moves on to discuss collective remembrance of the war and the ongoing dialectic between the need to remember and the need to forget wartime experience
