Latin American societies have sought more or less successfully to aim for reconcilation after the massive human rights violations during the years of military dictatorship and the escalation of state sponsored, paramilitary and guerilla violence in the late 20th century. As in other places, truth commissons have been an important political instrument in this processes. Following these developments, there have also emerged new attempts to address historical, structural injustices of colonialism and slavery. But is it possible to judge crimes, that happened centuries ago - even as the traumatic consequences of racism, ethnozid or land robbary are still felt today - the same way as present day rights violations? Who are the victims and who are the offenders in these cases? How do groups legitimize claims to reparations, when they have no direct relation to the original crime? These are questions to be addressed in the workshop. We will look into the practical work of recent truth commissions, evaluate the debates regarding historical justice and discuss politics of memory in contemporary Latin America.
