Divided societies, tormented pasts, and unrepentant perpetrators.
Why are some countries more intent on vanquishing uncomfortable
pasts than others? How do public and often unsightly attempts at
memorialisation both fail the victims and valorize their
oppressors? This book offers fresh and original perspectives on
dictatorship, fascism and victimization from the bloodiest decades
in Europe's, Australia's and Central America's colonial and modern
history. Chapters include analyses of Francoist memorials in Spain,
assessments of the El Mozote massacre in El Salvador, the
forgetting of frontier colonial violence in Tasmania, Romania's
treatment of its Roma populations in the midst of Holocaust
memorialization in Bucharest's urban development, and whether or
not the Holocaust continues to serve as an instructional model or
impossible aspiration for cross-cultural genocide memorialization
strategies. In an era of ongoing political, ethnic and religious
conflict, and unrepentant insurgent activity around the world, this
collection reminds readers that genocidal actions, wherever and
whenever they occurred, must be held to account by more than
rhetoric and concrete memory. This book was originally published as
a special issue of the Journal of Genocide Research.
