This book offers a groundbreaking, interdisciplinary approach to life writing about torture, placing it firmly within its socio-political context. By challenging the traditional divide between survivors of torture and human rights workers, contributors engage with the personal, professional, and institutional dimensions of this heinous practice. The essays in this volume explore torture from various locations, including the Philippines, Argentina, Sudan, and Guantánamo. Contributors offer a poignant glimpse into the individual suffering experienced by survivors and the institutional complicity that enables torture to occur. They also examine the challenges of building communities of healing across linguistic and national divides and the role of law, art, writing, and teaching in representing and responding to torture. Through their diverse perspectives, contributors shed light on the complexities and nuances of this global issue, providing a valuable contribution to the field of life writing and human rights.
