government to acknowledge their crimes shows the disputes between hegemonic history and memory as their claim implies that memories of individuals were not enough evidences to prove such crime.

delineates how a God-like, “benevolent” galactic empire Canopus oversees the fate of Shikasta. The virtually immortal Canopeans supervise and record the history of Shikasta from its Golden Age (Shikasta’s prehistory), through its fall in the “Century of Destruction” (Earth's 20th century, when World War III breaks out), and on to its visionary, post-catastrophic future.

isn’t a specific time, but rather the reader is left to assume it’s the future. A futuristic community that focuses on one boy who questions whether his home was a utopia or dystopia. Was the giver a community of perfection, or a community of total destruction? In my opinion It is a community of perfection, as it is safe from harm, and leads everyone to live fulfilling lives.
