"Law and the Politics of Memory: Confronting the Past examines law's role as a tool
of memory politics in the efforts of contemporary societies to work through the traumas
of their past. The book examines how and why law has become so central in processes
in which the past is constituted as a series of injustices that need to be rectified
and can allegedly be repaired. Using the examples of French colonialism and Vichy,
as well as addressing the politics of memory surrounding the Holocaust, communism
and colonialism, this book provides a critical exploration of law's role in 'belated'
transitional justice contexts. As such, it explores different legal modalities in
processes of working through the past; addressing the implications of regulating history
and memory through legal categories and legislative acts, whilst exploring how trials,
restitution cases, and memory laws manage to fulfil such varied expectations as clarifying
truth, rendering homage to memory and reconciling societies.Legal scholars, historians
and political scientists, especially those working with transitional justice, history
and memory politics in particular, will find this book a stimulating exploration of
the specificity of law as an instrument and forum of the politics of memory. "
