Antagonism, resentment, triumphalism and denial jostled with each other for space in Finnish politics for three generations, through a second world war and through Finland's remarkable economic transition in the last decades of the century. Only in the closing years of the century did Finns begin to see the civil war as a common tragedy for the nation as a whole rather than as the triumph of some Finns over others. The Baltic states have emerged from nearly five decades of Soviet repression, Mongolia from seven decades. A hesitant democratization at the local level is under way in China after the turmoil of the Cultural Revolution. And the New Order of President Suharto in Indonesia, which was founded on the massacre of half a million communist in 1965-66, has given way to a turbulent near-democracy. This volume explores the ways in which these societies have begun to reconcile a terrible past with a democratizing future.
