Taking Northern Ireland as its primary case study, this book
applies the burgeoning literature in memory studies to the primary
question of transitional justice: how shall societies and
individuals reckon with a traumatic past? Joseph Robinson argues
that without understanding how memory shapes, moulds, and frames
narratives of the past in the minds of communities and individuals,
theorists and practitioners may not be able to fully appreciate the
complex, emotive realities of transitional political landscapes.
Drawing on interviews with what the author terms "memory curators,"
coupled with a robust analysis of secondary literature from a range
of transitional cases, the book analyses how the bodies of the
dead, the injured, and the traumatised are written into - or
written out of - transitional justice. The author argues that
scholars cannot appreciate the dynamism of transitional
memory-space unless they first engage with the often silenced or
marginalised voices whose memories remain trapped behind the
antagonistic politics of fear and division. Ultimately challenging
the imperative of national reconciliation, the author argues for a
politics of public memory that incubates at multiple nodes of
social production and can facilitate a vibrant, democratic debate
over the ways in which a traumatic past can or should be
remembered.

The author's grandfather was a Durham miner. Growing up in the
gritty North East, only two miles from Durham city, he headed down
the pit when he was 14 and retired through ill-health and died in
1982. He survived the Depression years and this text tells his
story underground working in the dangerous Durham coalfield.
