About this book
Reviews
"In this innovative approach to memory politics and transitional justice, the author uses an insightful analysis of four major novels to discuss the silences about the three major periods of violence in modern Indonesian history, both from the Indonesian and the Dutch side."
— Saskia E. Wieringa, Chair of Women’s Same-Sex Relations Crossculturally, University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands
“In recent years both fields Memory Studies and Transitional Justice increasingly intersect, leading to important conceptual debates, to which this book makes its contribution. Highlighting the intersectional nature of people’s experiences of injustices, the author has an important message when addressing the structural dimensions of marginalisation; how historical conflicts resulted in inequalities that still hurt.”
— Nicole Immler, Associate Professor, University of Humanistic Studies, the Netherlands
