The twentieth century has been scarred by political violence and
genocide, reaching its extreme in the Holocaust. Yet, at the same
time, the century has been marked by a growing commitment to human
rights. This volume highlights the importance of history-of
socially processed memory-in resolving the wounds left by massive
state-sponsored political violence and in preventing future
episodes of violence. In Genocide, Collective Violence, and Popular
Memory: The Politics of Remembrance in the Twentieth Century, the
editors present and discuss the many different social responses to
the challenge of coming to terms with past reigns of terror and
collective violence.
Designed for undergraduate courses in political violence and
revolution, this volume treats a wide variety of incidents of
collective violence-from decades-long genocide to short-lived
massacres. The selection of essays provides a broad range of
thought-provoking case studies from Latin America, Africa, Europe,
and Asia. This provocative collection of readings from around the
world will spur debate and discussion of this timely and important
topic in the classroom and beyond.
