The yearning for historical justice - that is, for the redress of
past wrongs - has become one of the defining features of our age.
Governments, international bodies and civil society organisations
address historical injustices through truth commissions, tribunals,
official apologies and other transitional justice measures.
Historians produce knowledge of past human rights violations, and
museums, memorials and commemorative ceremonies try to keep that
knowledge alive and remember the victims of injustices. In this
book, researchers with a background in history, archaeology,
cultural studies, literary studies and sociology explore the
various attempts to recover and remember the past as a means of
addressing historic wrongs. Case studies include sites of
persecution in Germany, Argentina and Chile, the commemoration of
individual victims of Nazi Germany, memories of life under South
Africa's apartheid regime, and the politics of memory in Israel and
in Northern Ireland. The authors critique memory, highlight
silences and absences, explore how to engage with the ghosts of the
past, and ask what drives individuals, including professional
historians, to strive for historical justice. This book was
originally published as a special issue of Rethinking History.
