On Being Adjacent to Historical Violence (Paperback)

This book offers to academic and general public readers timely
reflections about our relationships to violence. Taking cues from
the self-reflexivity, themes, and subject matters of Holocaust,
queer, and Black studies, this large group of diverse intellectuals
wrestles with questions that connect past, present and future:
where do I stand in relation to violence? What is my attitude
toward that adjacency? Whose story gets to be told by whom? What
story do I take this image to be telling? How do I co-witness to
another's suffering? How do I honor the agency and resilience of
family members or historical personages? How do past violence and
injustice connect to the present? In smart, self-conscious,
passionate, and often painfully beautiful prose, cultural
practitioners, historians and cultural studies scholars such as
Angelika Bammer, Doris Bergen, Ann Cvetkovich, Marianne Hirsch,
Priscilla Layne, Mark Roseman, Leo Spitzer, Susan R. Suleiman and
Viktor Witkowski explore such questions, inviting readers to do the
same. By making available compelling examples of thinkers
performing their own work within the cauldron of crises that came
to a boil in 2020 and continued into the next year, this volume
proposes strategies for moving forward with hope.
