This book makes a valuable contribution to debates on redress for
historical injustices by offering case studies from nine countries
on five continents. The contributors examine the problems of
material restitution, criminal justice, apologies, recognition,
memory and reconciliation in national contexts as well as from a
comparative perspective. Among the topics discussed are the claims
for reparations for slavery in the United States, West German
restitution for the Holocaust, the South African Truth and
Reconciliation Commission, the efforts to prosecute the
perpetrators of the Khmer Rouge's mass murders in Cambodia and the
struggles of the indigenous people of Australia and New Zealand.
The book highlights the diversity of the ways societies have tried
to right past wrongs as the demand for historical justice has
become universal.
