“…Yet in studies focusing on the uptake of difficult heritage of the second half of the 20th century on SNS, a shift of focus away from Europe was noticeable. Studies on Asia addressed the social media memory of events such as the Vietnam war 1955–1975 (Ibrahim, 2017; Price and Kerr, 2018); the Great famine of China in the 1960s and the Tiananmen square protests in the 1990s (Ibrahim, 2016; Liu, 2018; Zhao and Liu, 2015), the Khmer Rouge genocide in Cambodia in 1975–1979 (Benzaquen, 2014; Buckley-Zistel and Williams, 2020), the Iranian revolution in 1978–1979 (Malek, 2021), the conflict in Tibet causing Buddhist immolations in the late 1990s (Warner, 2014), the Communist purge of 1965–1966 in Indonesia (Parahita and Yulianto, 2020) and the emergence of Islamic cults in the 1980s (Hidayat et al, 2021). Studies on Africa focused on major conflicts in Zimbabwe, such as the 1964–1979 Rhodesian Bush War (Kirkegaard, 2017) and the 1983–1987 Gukurahundi genocide (Ndlovu, 2018), on the 1994 Tutsi genocide in Rwanda (Buckley-Zistel and Williams, 2020), on South African national identity after the abolition of apartheid (Bosch, 2020).…”
