What is it to do justice to the absent victims of past injustice,
given the distance that separates us from them? Grounded in
political theory and guided by the literature on historical
justice, W. James Booth restores the dead to their central place at
the heart of our understanding of why and how to deal with past
injustice. Testimonies and accounts from the race war in the United
States, the Holocaust, post-apartheid South Africa, Argentina's
Dirty War and the conflict in Northern Ireland help advance and
defend Booth's claim that caring for the dead is a central part of
addressing past injustice. Memory, Historic Injustice, and
Responsibility is an insightful and original book on the
relationship of past and present in thinking about what it means to
do justice. A valuable addition to the currently available
literature on historical justice, the volume will be of great
interest to students and scholars of political science, philosophy,
history, and law.
