Transitional justice and national inquiries may be the most
established means for coming to terms with traumatic legacies, but
it is in the more subtle social and cultural processes of "memory
work" that the pitfalls and promises of reconciliation are laid
bare. This book analyzes, within the realms of literature and film,
recent Australian and Canadian attempts to reconcile with
Indigenous populations in the wake of forced child removal. As
Hanna Teichler demonstrates, their systematic emphasis on the
subjectivity of the victim is problematic, reproducing simplistic
narratives and identities defined by victimization. Such fictions
of reconciliation venture beyond simplistic narratives and
identities defined by victimization, offering new opportunities for
confronting painful histories.
