Episode notes
In the early 80s, there was more of a willingness to confront some of the decade. And yet now you describe it as a decade that's disappeared and an officially controlled national amnesia. Why was there a limited willingness to discuss this awful, awful scarring decade, and now no willingness or a very neurologic controlling narrative? I think one immediate issue was the fact that in the aftermath of the Cultural Revolution, things were still so febrile; they needed to be really sure that that was not going to come back.
