In this book Joan Wallach Scott discusses the role history has played as an arbiter of right and wrong and of those who claim to act in its name"in the name of history." Scott investigates three different instances in which repudiation of the past was conceived as a way to a better future: the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg in 1946, the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission in 1996, and the ongoing movement for reparations for slavery in the United States.

Scott shows how in these cases history was not only used to explain the past but to produce a particular future. Yet both past and future were subject to the political realities of their time and defined in terms of moral absolutes, often leading to deep contradictions. These three instances demonstrate that history is not an impartial truth, rather its very meaning is constructed by those who act in its name.

Recenzijas

"Scott, by contrast, takes as her subject not truth but ethics. Specifically, she is concerned with how the act of representing the pastor the historical operation, as she calls it, borrowing from Michel De Certeauadvances the cause of justice. The opening claim of In the Name of History is that the historian, by engaging in this particular operation, is always also defining the relationship between what is no longer and what lies ahead. The history we produce may reveal our consistent fallibilities as humans but, even more, it establishes as past what we want to leave behind, premised on the assumption that we can do better and will. That is particularly so in the case of historically focused tribunals, the subject of two of Scotts three major examples in this short but intense book." -- Sophia Rosenfeld * Journal of Modern History *
