Ruminating on the relationship between law, memory, and human rights, this impressive collection dazzles in content and scope. Its empirically rich and theoretically provocative contributions range from international law to literary studies, crossing an expanse of geographies and histories, all to remind readers that while wrongs cannot be righted, and memory cannot be trusted, the pursuit of justice in the present cannot be abandoned. A valuable collection for scholars - legal and otherwise - working in the areas of transitional justice, de-colonization, reconciliation, and public memory.
