In Remembering Genocide an international group of scholars draw on
current research from a range of disciplines to explore how
communities throughout the world remember genocide. Whether coming
to terms with atrocities committed in Namibia and Rwanda,
Australia, Canada, the Punjab, Armenia, Cambodia and during the
Holocaust, those seeking to remember genocide are confronted with
numerous challenges. Survivors grapple with the possibility, or
even the desirability, of recalling painful memories. Societies
where genocide has been perpetrated find it difficult to engage
with an uncomfortable historical legacy. Still, to forget genocide,
as this volume edited by Nigel Eltringham and Pam Maclean shows, is
not an option. To do so reinforces the vulnerability of groups
whose very existence remains in jeopardy and denies them the
possibility of bringing perpetrators to justice. Contributors
discuss how genocide is represented in media including literature,
memorial books, film and audiovisual testimony. Debates surrounding
the role museums and monuments play in constructing and
transmitting memory are highlighted. Finally, authors engage with
controversies arising from attempts to mobilise and manipulate
memory in the service of reconciliation, compensation and
transitional justice.
