Talking about the Holocaust has provided an international language for ethics, victimization, political claims, and constructions of collective identity. As part of a worldwide vocabulary, that language helps set the tenor of the era of globalization. This volume addresses manifestations of Holocaust-engendered global discourse by critically examining their function and inherent dilemmas, and the ways in which Holocaust-related matters still instigate public debate and academic deliberation. It contends that the contradiction between the totalizing logic of globalization and the assumed uniqueness of the Holocaust generates continued intellectual and practical discontent.

Industry Reviews

"Goldberg and Hazan must be congratulated on bringing together an important and exciting collection of essays that in their sheer interdisciplinary range are essential reading for scholars across the arts and humanities." · Holocaust Studies

"This is a superb, original, brave and powerful book... the readings of texts are fresh and provocative, and the book benefits from its wide range of approaches to the question of global memory... I was sent off in many different directions all at once after reading this-who can ask for more from a book, especially one on an ostensibly overcrowded field such as Holocaust Studies?" · Dan Stone, University of London
