| Summary: | "This book is the culmination of South Korean historian of collective memory Jie-Hyun Lim's exploration of the global connections in the discourse on colonialism, war, and genocide since World War II. From Poland to Germany to Korea, Lim traces the relationship between victimization and nationalism and the transnational history of reckoning with past wounds. Lim draws on critical theory from Marxism to Orienalism to untangle the connections between collective mourning, anti-colonialism, and authoritarian populism. Ultimately, this innovative and timely collection of essays asks: what would it take to create a global memory space that enables reconciliation and liberation?"-- |
