History 384 Memory, Truth & Reconciliation in the Developing World

One major method for reconciling post-conflict societies to the traumatic memories of conflict in recent years has been the “truth commission.” This course surveys truth and reconciliation commissions in Southeast Asia, South Africa and Latin America, and the ways in which they are used to construct alternative national narratives in the search for usable pasts. Comparisons will be drawn where appropriate with truth commissions and their uses of memory in other regions.

Consider: How knowledge is created and disseminated.

Consider: how truth commissions share common characteristics; how they differ; how they draw on lessons from one another and on local unique situations
