摘要

东非提供了令人震惊的例子，说明国家可以通过控制或压制对大规模暴力的记忆来促进遗忘的不同方式。在卢旺达，人们对 1994 年的种族灭绝事件进行了集中纪念，但执政党犯下的暴力行为却没有被载入官方历史。在布隆迪，为结束内战而达成的权力分享协议导致了对记忆的刻意抹杀。在肯尼亚，恐怖主义暴力遗址被加固，并以复原的名义重新开放--这是一种胜利主义的健忘症。然而，在每个国家，公民都在进行非正式的纪念活动。

Forgetting Atrocity in East Africa

East Africa presents striking examples of the different ways in which states may seek to promote forgetting through control or suppression of memories of mass violence. In Rwanda, the 1994 genocide is intensively memorialized, yet violence committed by the ruling party is not part of the official history. In Burundi, a power-sharing deal to end a civil war led to the erasure of memory through deliberate neglect. In Kenya, sites of terrorist violence have been fortified and reopened in the name of resilience—a form of triumphalist amnesia. Yet in each country, citizens practice informal varieties of commemoration.
