The People's Republic of Amnesia: Tiananmen Revisited
Lim, Louisa. The People's Republic of Amnesia: Tiananmen Revisited. New York: Oxford University Press, 2014.
Why this matters here
Lim's account traces how official censorship and subsequent public memory reshaped the understanding of June 1989. When Authority Is Misread uses that later-memory history to question how political success stories can make suppressed events harder to discuss. The book's moral judgment about that compression remains its own, not Lim's alone.
