Around the world in the twentieth century, political violence in
emerging states gave rise to different kinds of silence within
their societies. This book explores the histories of these
silences, how they were made, maintained, evaded, and transformed.
This book gives a comprehensive view of the ongoing evolutions and
multiple faces of silence as a common strand in the struggles of
state-building. It begins with chapters that examine the
construction of "regimes of silence" as an act of power, and it
continues through explorations of the ambiguous limits of speech
within communities marked by this violence. It highlights national
and transnational attempts to combat state silences, before
concluding with a series of considerations of how these regimes of
silence continue to be extrapolated in the gaps of records and
written history. This volume explores histories of the composed
silences of political violence across the emerging states of the
late twentieth century, not solely as a present concern of
aftermath or retrospection but as a diachronic social and political
dimension of violence itself. This book makes a major original
contribution to international history, as well as to the study of
political terror, human rights violations, social recovery, and
historical memory.
