      abstract = {This book demonstrates a new, interdisciplinary approach  to life writing about torture that situates torture firmly  within its socio-political context, as opposed to extending  the long line of representations written in the idiom of  the proverbial dark chamber. By dismantling the rhetorical  divide that typically separates survivors' suffering from  human rights workers' expertise, contributors engage with  the personal, professional, and institutional dimensions of  torture and redress. Essays in this volume consider torture  from diverse locations - the Philippines, Argentina, Sudan,  and Guantánamo, among others. From across the globe,  contributors witness both individual pain and institutional  complicity; the challenges of building communities of  healing across linguistic and national divides; and the  role of the law, art, writing, and teaching in representing  and responding to torture.},
