Beskrivning

Harm takes shape in and through what is suppressed, left out, or taken for granted. This book is a guide to understanding and uncovering what is left unsaid—whether concealed or silenced, presupposed or excluded. Drawing on a variety of real-world examples, narrative criminologist Lois Presser outlines how to determine what or who is excluded from textual materials. With strategies that can be added to the tool kits of social researchers and activists alike, Unsaid provides a richly layered approach to analyzing and dismantling the power structures that both create and arise from what goes without saying.

Recensioner i media

"Presser concedes the impossibility of creating a comprehensive, all-inclusive text in which nothing is left unsaid as she advocates for honest and critical reflection to identify the unspoken assumptions and silenced viewpoints characteristic of all texts."
