Self-Censorship of Narratives of Political Violence: Four International Case Studies (France-Algeria, Spain, Turkey-Armenians, Japan-Korea)

Abstract

This chapter focuses on four case studies of political violence and examines the practice of self-censorship with regard to the historical narratives of these cases. The cases represent major examples of four types of political violence: (1) colonialism, the French-Algerian relations; (2) dictatorship (including intra-state conflict), the 1936-1939 civil war in Spain and the subsequent Franco regime; (3) genocide, the Turkish-Armenian case; and (4) interstate conflict, the Japan-Korea relationships.
