47 UCLA L. Rev. 1747 (1999-2000)
Collective Memory, History, and Social Justice

handle is hein.journals/uclalr47 and id is 1761 raw text is: COLLECTIVE MEMORY, HISTORY, AND SOCIAL JUSTICE Sharon K. Hom Eric K. Yamamoto** This Article is part of a larger project, entitled Re-Forming Civil Rights in Uncivil Times, that will be published as a special 2001 issue of the UCLA Amer- asia Journal, guest edited by Professors Horn and Yamamoto. The Article describes first the larger project, an interrogation of rights in the context of the U.S. civil rights legacy and the development of international human rights in the twentieth century. It then focuses critical discussion on two case studies, one current and one historical (Rice v. Cayetano and the Civil Rights Congress), and develops two theoretical and strategic aspects of the project: (1) an analysis of the dynamics of collective memory in framing present-day justice grievances and claims, and (2) a critique of the complex intersection of international and domestic rights discourse and practice.
