Reviews
At the heart of Fatma Muge Gocek's book is the claim that forgetting doesn't just happen. Rather, forgetting (and remembering) happens in a context, with profound political and personal stakes for those involved. And this forgetting has consequences. Denial of Violence looks at how this process played out in Turkey in the past 200 years. ...thoughtful and intellectually rigorous. -New Books Network
