Produktbeschreibung

Argues that after human rights violations have occurred, the realm of representation - actual and fictional - is precisely the ground upon which struggles for justice and peace are waged in legal, emotional, and cultural terms. This work also focuses on various narratives about abuses, including those in South Africa, Rwanda, and Iraq.
