Lea David (University College Dublin)

The Past Can't Heal Us

The Dangers of Mandating Memory in the Name of Human Rights

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Lea David goes against the well-embedded belief that 'proper' remembrance leads to a better appreciation of human rights values, helping us to understand how the human rights memorialization agenda developed globally and why it often ends up strengthening nationalist sentiment and shaping social inequalities on the ground.
