330 .. $a "The massacre on October 6, 1976, in Bangkok was brutal and violent, its savagery
unprecedented in modern Thai history. Four decades later there has been no investigation
into the atrocity; information remains limited, the truth unknown. There has been
no collective coming to terms with what happened or who is responsible. Thai society
still refuses to confront this dark page in its history. Moments of Silence focuses
on the silence that surrounds the October 6 massacre. Silence, the book argues, is
not forgetting. Rather it signals an inability to forget or remember-or to articulate
a socially meaningful memory. It is the "unforgetting," the liminal domain between
remembering and forgetting. Historian Thongchai Winichakul, a participant in the events
of that day, gives the silence both a voice and a history by highlighting the factors
that contributed to the unforgetting amidst changing memories of the massacre over
the decades that followed. They include shifting political conditions and context,
the influence of Buddhism, the royal-nationalist narrative of history, the role played
by the monarchy as moral authority and arbiter of justice, and a widespread perception
that the truth might have devastating ramifications for Thai society. The unforgetting
impacted both victims and perpetrators in different ways. It produced a collective
false memory of an incident that never took place, but it also produced silence that
is filled with hope and counter-history. Moments of Silence tells the story of a tragedy
in Thailand-its victims and survivors-and how Thai people coped when closure was unavailable
in the wake of atrocity. But it also illuminates the unforgetting as a phenomenon
common to other times and places where authoritarian governments flourish, where atrocities
go unexamined, and where censorship (imposed or self-directed) limits public discourse.
The tensions inherent in the author's dual role offer a riveting story, as well as
a rare and intriguing perspective. Most of all, this provocative book makes clear
the need to provide a place for past wrongs in the public memory"
