"This title hints at the focus that is not on individuals coping with trauma but on collective memory at a political or juridical level. The editors, the political scientist Vladimir Tismaneanu and the historian Bogdan C. Iacob, reflect the interesting interdisciplinary character of the volume.
The volume has an impressive thematic and methodological variety and a strong interdisciplinary character. It is refreshing that many authors not only write from an academic point of view but also integrate their own experiences—for instance, in truth and reconciliation commissions—in their contributions."
