Shattered Voices: Language, Violence, and the Work of Truth CommissionsUniversity of Pennsylvania Press, 24 нояб. 2010 г. - Всего страниц: 192 Following periods of mass atrocity and oppression, states are faced with a question of critical importance in the transition to democracy: how to offer redress to victims of the old regime without perpetuating cycles of revenge.
