Book excerpt: "Post-conflict cultures are defined by the different ways (practices, texts, behaviours, rituals) in which they re-write, re-constitute, and work through their contrasting, abused, competing memories and traumas. Bringing together academic experts and leading practititioners from avariety of cultural, literary and sociological disciplines, The genres of post-conflict testimonies investigates how cultures are influenced and transformed after conflict by looking at testimony as a particular practice of representation. The book examines the many genres of testimonies which have not only been used, but also created and re-created, when the urgent need is to bear witness to violence."--Back cover.
