This book-the culmination of forty years of friendship between J. Hillis Miller and Jacques Derrida, during which Miller also closely followed all Derrida's writings and seminars-is for Derrida in two senses. It is for him, dedicated to his memory. The chapters also speak, in acts of reading, as advocates for Derrida's work. The chapters focus especially on Derrida's late work, including passages from the last, as yet unpublished, seminars. The chapters are partial to Derrida, on his side, taking his part, gratefully submitting themselves to the demand made by Derrida's writings to be read-slowly, carefully, faithfully, with close attention to semantic detail.

THE CREATION OF NEW REGIONAL LEGISLATURES IN SCOTLAND AND WALES (FOR WHICH ELECTIONS ARE TO BE HELD ON MAY 6, 1999) WILL DELIVER AN ABRUPT JOLT TO THE BASIC POLITICAL UNION THAT COMPROMISES THE UNITED KINGDOM. THE GLUE OF CULTURE, TRADITION, AND INSTITUTIONS THAT HAS HELD THE UK TOGETHER APPEARS TO BE PALPABLY DISSOLVING. IN ADDITION, IT IS TROUBLING TO TRADITIONAL ANGLO-BRITISH NOTIONS OF INDEPENDENCE THAT EVEN AS BRITAIN STRUGGLES TO REINVENT ITSELF ON ITS OWN ISLAND, THE LARGER EUROPEAN PROJECT SEEMS TO BE MOVING ON WITHOUT IT. IT IS NOW STARTING TO DAWN ON MANY IN BRITAIN THAT MUCH OF WHAT HAS BEEN TAKEN FOR GRANTED HAS QUITE SUDDENLY BEEN THROWN OPEN TO DOUBT AND DEBATE. AND, IT WILL NOT BE ENOUGH TO SIMPLY "MUDDLE THROUGH."

IN THIS ESSAY, THE AUTHOR DISCUSSES GERMANY'S EFFORTS TO USE THE DOCUMENTS OF THE STATE SECURITY SERVICE OF THE FORMER GERMAN DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC (GDR) TO ENACT CORRECTIVE JUSTICE. HE EXAMINES THE RELEVANT GERMAN LAW, CONSIDERS THE IMPACT OF THIS LEGISLATION ON SOCIETY IN THE FORMER GDR, AND REFLECTS ON THE PLACE OF LAW AND LEGAL METHODS IN POST-COMMUNIST TRANSITIONS IN GENERAL.
