Summary

"Toxic Nostalgia on Screen examines our understanding of nostalgia and its misuses in the present cultural environment. Twenty original essays show how undead memory has become an embodiment of monstrous imagined histories and ideologies that dictate the way we live today so that tomorrow is not the future, but a never-ending return to the past"-- Provided by publisher.
