Abstract

Joan W. Scott reflects on the “the judgement of history” as the victor’s moral judgement of events. She argues that it is human agency that makes history and historians those who decide what matters from history in each particular context. Her case studies are: The Nuremberg trial, Germany, 1946; The Truth and Reconciliation Commission, South Africa, 1996 and the reparation movements for slavery in the United States.
