Description

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.

Narrative criminologist Lois Presser outlines a strategy for determining what or who is excluded from textual materials, adding to the toolkits of social researchers and activists alike.

Drawing on a variety of real-world examples, Unsaid provides a richly layered approach to analysing and dismantling the power structures that both create and arise from what goes without saying.
