| Summary: | Annette Weinke’s deeply researched, tightly argued, and insightful book is a welcome translation of the German original, published in 2016 by Wallstein Verlag as Gewalt, Geschichte, Gerechtigkeit: Transnationale Debatten über deutsche Staatsverbrechen im 20. Jahrhundert. The clear and careful translation by Nicholas Evangelos Levis makes available Weinke’s careful and creative analysis to a non-German-reading audience interested in law, international human rights, memory studies, and the history of Germany in the twentieth century. Weinke weaves together literatures on historical theory, the historiography of six political regimes in Germany, international human rights law, and transitional justice from the 1980s onward to tell a story larger than the sum of its parts. |
