Quotes by Geoffrey B. Robinson (?)

“Where those responsible for the violence remain in power, they are in a strong position to write its history, and thus to construct a social memory that diverts blame, obscures responsibility, and obstructs all efforts at redress.”
― Geoffrey B. Robinson, The Killing Season: A History of the Indonesian Massacres, 1965-66
