This book demonstrates a new, interdisciplinary approach to life
writing about torture that situates torture firmly within its
socio-political context, as opposed to extending the long line of
representations written in the idiom of the proverbial dark
chamber. 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 Guantanamo, 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.
