520 In the long history of warfare and cultural and ethnic
violence, the twentieth century was exceptional for
producing institutions charged with seeking accountability
or redress for violent offenses and human rights abuses
across the globe, often forcing nations to confront the
consequences of past atrocities. The Holocaust ended with
trials at Nuremberg, apartheid in South Africa concluded
with the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, and the
Gacaca courts continue to strive for closure in the wake
of the Rwandan genocide. Despite this global trend towards
accountability, American collective memory appears
distinct in that it tends to glorify the nation s past,
celebrating triumphs while eliding darker episodes in its
history. In American Memories, sociologists Joachim
Savelsberg and Ryan King rigorously examine how the United
States remembers its own and others atrocities and how
institutional responses to such crimes, including trials
and tribunals, may help shape memories and perhaps impede
future violence. American Memories uses historical and
media accounts, court records, and survey research to
examine a number of atrocities from the nation s past,
including the massacres of civilians by U.S. military in
My Lai, Vietnam, and Haditha, Iraq. The book shows that
when states initiate responses to such violence via
criminal trials, tribunals, or reconciliation hearings
they lay important groundwork for how such atrocities are
viewed in the future. Trials can serve to delegitimize
violence even by a nation s military by creating a public
record of grave offenses. But the law is filtered by and
must also compete with other institutions, such as the
media and historical texts, in shaping American memory.
Savelsberg and King show, for example, how the My Lai
slayings of women, children, and elderly men by U.S.
soldiers have been largely eliminated from or
misrepresented in American textbooks, and the army s
reputation survived the episode untarnished. The American
media nevertheless evoked the killings at My Lai in
response to the murder of twenty-four civilian Iraqis in
Haditha, during the war in Iraq. Since only one conviction
was obtained for the My Lai massacre, and convictions for
the killings in Haditha seem increasingly unlikely,
Savelsberg and King argue that Haditha in the near past is
now bound inextricably to My Lai in the distant past. With
virtually no criminal convictions, and none of higher
ranks for either massacre, both events will continue to be
misrepresented in American memory. In contrast, the book
examines American representations of atrocities committed
by foreign powers during the Balkan wars, which entailed
the prosecution of ranking military and political leaders.
The authors analyze news accounts of the war s events and
show how articles based on diplomatic sources initially
cast Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic in a less
negative light, but court-based accounts increasingly
portrayed Milosevic as a criminal, solidifying his image
for the public record ... -- Book Description.
