Against Remembrance is written by David Rieff and published by Melbourne Univ. Publishing. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0522860249 (ISBN 10) and 9780522860245 (ISBN 13).
In Against Remembrance, David Rieff provocatively argues that the business of remembrance, particularly of the great tragedies of the past, are policitised events of highly selective memory. Rather than ending injustices, as we expect it to, collective memory in so many cases dooms us to an endless cycle of vengeance. Humanity, he says, simply cannot cope with the true ambivalence of historical events. And if we remember only partially, how can our memories serve us, or our society, as well as we hope?
