This collection examines what happens when one country's experience
of dealing with its traumatic past is held up as a model for others
to follow. In regional and country studies covering Argentina,
Canada, Japan, Lebanon, Rwanda, Russia, Turkey, the United States
and former Yugoslavia, the authors look at the pitfalls,
misunderstandings and perverse effects-but also the promise-of
trying to replicate atonement. Going beyond the idea of a global or
transnational memory, this book examines the significance of
foreign models in atonement practices, and analyses the role of
national governments, international organisations, museums,
foundations, NGOs and public intellectuals in shaping the idea that
good practices of atonement can be learned. The volume also
demonstrates how one can productively learn from others by
appreciating the complex and contested nature of atonement
practices such as Germany's, and also by finding the necessary
resources in the history of one's own country.
