Israel and Poland Confront Holocaust Memory
Memories of Violence
Historical memory of mass violence and war crimes plays a central role in a nation or an ethnic group's cultural identity, but is not given adequate attention in the politics of conflict resolution. The article argues that it is wrong and counterproductive to treat history as exclusively belonging to the past or as too complicated, and therefore to ignore it politically. Northern Ireland invested heavily in various transitional justice and confli…

A New Deal for the World
Individual versus Group Rights in Western Philosophy and the Law
Western societies and the law primarily recognize individual identity, rights, responsibility, and guilt. It is cognizant though that people also belong to social groups, including nations, ethnicities, religions, a gender group, and they suffer from poverty or enjoy affluence, all of which can determine the course of the individual's life more than any individual attributes or characteristics. This is particularly true when it comes to large-sca…

The book contains studies of the Armenian genocide, the victims of Stalinist terror, the Holocaust, and Imperial…
Race, Science, and Medicine, 1700-1960 (review)
This is an eclectic collection of essays on the intersections between race, science, and medicine over two-and-one-half centuries. The case studies focus on British imperialism (with one exception, "A Virulent Strain: German Bacteriology as Scientific Racism, 1890-1920," by Paul Weindling)

Post-Anti-Colonial Histories
New Aliens. By not being Others we define ourselves. We have always done so. In bad times the barbarians were at our gates; on more fortunate occasions we were at theirs. As we changed, so did our alter ego. A hundred-plus years ago in England, “we” were the upper classes, perhaps the middling lot aspiring upward. Primarily men. The Others populated the Empire, the East End of London, and even many social and geographic quarters closer to home. A…
