DESCRIPTION:\n	Join us for a book talk with Roman David\, Professor and Head
  of the Sociology &amp\; Social Policy Department at Lingnan University\, 
 as he discusses his findings in his recent work&nbsp\;Communists and Their
  Victims.&nbsp\;The discussion wil be facilitated by Carr fellow\, Stephan
  Parmentier.\n\n\n\n	About:&nbsp\;\n\n\n\n	In&nbsp\;Communists and Their Vic
 tims\, Roman David identifies and examines four classes of justice measure
 s—retributive\, reparatory\, revelatory\, and reconciliatory—to discover w
 hich\, if any\, rectified the legacy of human rights abuses committed duri
 ng the communist era in the Czech Republic. Conducting interviews\, focus 
 groups\, and nationwide surveys between 1999 and 2015\, David looks at the
  impact of financial compensation and truth-sharing on victims' healing an
 d examines the role of retribution in the behavior and attitudes of commun
 ists and their families. Emphasizing the narratives of former political pr
 isoners\, secret collaborators\, and former Communist Party members\, Davi
 d tests the potential of justice measures to contribute to a shared sense 
 of justice and their ability to overcome the class structure and ideologic
 al divides of a formerly communist regime.\n\n\n\n	Complementing his origin
 al research with analysis of legal judgments\, governmental reports\, and 
 historical records\, David finds that some justice measures were effective
  in overcoming material and ideological divides while others obstructed vi
 ctims' healing and inhibited the transformation of communists. Identifying
  'justice without reconciliation' as the primary factor hampering the proc
 ess of overcoming the past in the Czech Republic\,&nbsp\;Communists and Th
 eir Victims&nbsp\;promotes a transformative theory of justice that demonst
 rates that justice measures\, in order to be successful\, require a degree
  of reconciliation.\n\n\n\n	Roman David&nbsp\;is Professor of Sociology and
  Social Policy at Lingnan University in Hong Kong. He is author of&nbsp\;L
 ustration and Transitional Justice: Personnel Systems in the Czech Republi
 c\, Hungary\, and Poland\, also available from the University of Pennsylva
 nia Press.\n\n\n\n	&nbsp\;\n\n\n\n	&nbsp\;\n\n\n\n
