These studies examine the ways in which succeeding democratic
regimes have dealt with, or have ignored (and in several cases
sugar-coated) an authoritarian or totalitarian past from 1943 to
the present. They treat the relationship with democratization and
the different ways in which collective memory is formed and dealt
with, or ignored and suppressed. Previous books have examined only
restricted sets of countries, such as western or eastern Europe, or
Latin America. The present volume treats a broader range of cases
than any preceding account, and also a much broader time-span,
investigating diverse historical and cultural contexts, and the
role of national identity and nationalism, studying the aftermath
of both fascist and communist regimes in both Europe and Asia in an
interdisciplinary framework, while the conclusion provides a more
complete comparative perspective than will be found in any other
work.
The book will be of interest to historians and political
scientists, and to those interested in fascism, communism, legacies
of war, democratization, collective memory and transitional
justice.
This book was previously published as a special issue of
Totalitarian Movements and Political Religions.
