This book examines state efforts to shape the public memory of past
atrocities in the service of nationalist politics. This political
engagement with the 'duty to remember', and the question of
historical memory and identity politics, began as an effort to
confront denialism with regard to the Holocaust, but now extends
well beyond that framework, and has become a contentious subject in
many countries. In exploring the politics of memory laws, a topic
that has been overlooked in the largely legal analyses surrounding
this phenomenon, this volume traces the spread of memory laws from
their origins in Western Europe to their adoption by countries
around the world. The work illustrates how memory laws have become
a widespread tool of governments with a nationalist, majoritarian
outlook. Indeed, as this volume illustrates, in countries that move
from pluralism to majoritarianism, memory laws serve as a warning -
a precursor to increasingly repressive, nationalist inclinations.
