- catalog abstract ""How does the experiencing and witnessing of violence shape contemporary social and cultural worlds?" "The Politics of Atrocity and Reconciliation examines contemporary political violence and atrocity in the context of the crisis of the nation-state. It explores the way violence is used to unmake the social world and how its product, suffering, is used to try to remake the social world. Humphrey considers both the unmaking of the world through torture, war, urbicide and ethnic cleansing and the resultant remaking of the world through testimony and witnessing in the forums of truth commissions and trials. The discussion thus moves from terror to trauma." "This book has an innovative approach, providing a theoretical and comparative analysis of the legacies of violence for social reconstruction. It includes a number of case studies focusing on Bosnia, Rwanda, Northern Ireland, South Africa, Chile, Vietnam and Cambodia, among others."--Jacket.".
