History, Memory, and State-Sponsored Violence

Meer over het boek

The book explores how perceptions of historical time influence responses to historical injustices and the ethics surrounding them. It argues that traditional historical concepts of time align more closely with the perspectives of perpetrators rather than victims, highlighting a critical gap in historical analysis. By examining this dynamic, the author invites a reevaluation of how history is understood and taught, emphasizing the need for a more victim-centered approach to historical narratives.
