On the Judgment of History
Book • 2020
Joan Wallach Scott's On the Judgment of History interrogates how societies judge and narrate past atrocities, shaping collective memory and political claims.
She analyzes comparative frameworks—such as Holocaust, apartheid, and colonial violence—to show how history is mobilized for contemporary judgments.
Scott critiques simplistic victim-perpetrator binaries and explores the complexities of historical responsibility and commemoration.
The book offers tools for understanding debates over reparations, apology, and historical justice.
It is widely cited in scholarship on memory, historiography, and transitional justice.
