Description

Shifa Haq traces the dynamics of mourning, collective trauma, and political resistance in personal accounts of mourners of disappeared persons, providing insights into psyche-polis connection. By using a psychoanalytic lens, this book turns to individual cases to throw light on claims of affect and memory to re-imagine social suffering.
