The Implicated Subject: Beyond Victims and Perpetrators (Cultural Memory in the Present)

Are you ready to confront the truth about historical violence and contemporary inequality? Introducing "The Implicated Subject: Beyond Victims and Perpetrators", a groundbreaking book by Michael Rothberg that challenges us to reassess our role in perpetuating systems of domination. This powerful work argues that the traditional categories of victim, perpetrator, and bystander fail to capture the complexity of our connection to past and present injustices. With its comparative and transnational approach, this book takes you on a journey across various contested zones, from South Africa to Israel/Palestine, from post-Holocaust Europe to the aftermath of slavery. Through thought-provoking analyses of cultural texts, archives, and activist movements, Rothberg unveils the concept of the implicated subject, shedding light on the countless ways in which we are implicated in systems of oppression beyond our control.
