Summary/Abstract: Michael Rothberg’s new book, The Implicated Subject. Beyond Victims and Perpetrators, develops his seminal ideas from his 2009 study, Multidirectional Memory. Remembering the Holocaust in the Age of Decolonization. While in his previous work Rothberg focused on intersecting comparative, non-competitive forms of memory deployment, his new book builds upon and nuances the entanglements and networks of previously touched-upon aspects of solidarity and complicity.
