Genocide, Collective Violence, and Popular Memory: The Politics of Remembrance in the Twentieth Century

David E. Lorey,William H. Beezley

The 20th century has been scrred by political violence and genocide, reaching its extreme in the Holocaust. Yet, at the same time, the century has been marked by a growing committment to human rights. The volume highlights the importance of history - of socially processed memory - in resolving the wounds left by massive state-sponsored political violence and in preventing future episodes of violence. Here, the editors define and discuss popular historical memory; explore collective versus individual memory; and examine te uses and abuses of history and memory. The book also treats a wide variety of incidents of collective violence - from decades long genocide to short-lived massacres and presents case studies from Latin America, Africa, Europe, and Asia.
