Sanyal's exposure of complicity - using World War Two France as a telling example, but applicable beyond this one case - is neither accusatory nor guilt-inducing. Instead, the acknowledgment of complicity becomes an inspiring call to action, change and repair for the future.\" -- -Marianne Hirsch author of The Generation of Postmemory: Writing and Visual Culture After the Holocaust \"Memory and Complicity is a very impressive book. Sanyal is unusually well acquainted with the relevant literature (which is extensive), her arguments are clear and compelling, her writing is unfailingly lucid and accessible, and her scholarship is beyond reproach.\" -- -Thomas Trezise Princeton University \"Memory and Complicity offers a sophisticated, nuanced, and beautifully written account of the intersecting legacies of genocide and colonialism in postwar France.
