"During recent decades, the question of how societies deal with the past has received increasing attention from political actors, civil society and academia. Yet, dealing with the past continues to be a very controversial issue that causes polemic debates. This book contributes to a cross-regional analysis of how societies in Latin America, South Africa and Germany deal with a past containing massive human rights violations." (Publisher description)
