By dismantling the rhetorical divide that typically separates survivors' suffering from human rights workers' expertise, contributors engage with the personal, professional, and institutional dimensions of torture and redress. Essays in this volume consider torture from diverse locations - the Philippines, Argentina, Sudan, and Guantánamo, among others. From across the globe, contributors witness both individual pain and institutional complicity; the challenges of building communities of healing across linguistic and national divides; and the role of the law, art, writing, and teaching in representing and responding to torture. 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in Life Writing,$x2730-9193 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y20th century 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y21st century 606 $aLiterature 606 $aHuman rights 606 $aTerrorism 606 $aPolitical violence 606 $aContemporary Literature 606 $aWorld Literature 606 $aHuman Rights 606 $aTerrorism and Political Violence 615 0$aLiterature, Modern 615 0$aLiterature, Modern 615 0$aLiterature. 615 0$aHuman rights. 615 0$aTerrorism. 615 0$aPolitical violence. 615 14$aContemporary Literature. 615 24$aWorld Literature. 615 24$aHuman Rights. 615 24$aTerrorism and Political Violence. 676 $a364.675 702 $aMoore$b Alexandra S$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aSwanson$b Elizabeth$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299997703321 996 $aWitnessing Torture$92150034 997 $aUNINA
