• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

"Original, insightful, unconventional, unique, critical, and revealing, Crimes in Archival Form offers a firsthand account and a thorough reassessment of facts-production in the field of human rights. It is rich in context and significant in its policy and theoretical implications. A timely and impactful book that will appeal to a broad audience, including scholars, policy makers, and activists who work on human rights, research methodology, and Myanmar."--Ardeth Maung Thawnghmung, author of Everyday Economic Survival in Myanmar "Crimes in Archival Form is a landmark study of how state violence is documented under protracted military dictatorship and a welcome corrective to overstated critiques of the global human rights project. Ken MacLean offers a close and nuanced look at how facts about atrocities are produced, and why it matters. At once critical and empathetic, this is engaged social science at its best."--Nick Cheesman, author of Opposing the Rule of Law: How Myanmar's Courts Make Law and Order
