Description
Truth and Repair: How Trauma Survivors Envision Justice by Judith L. Herman
This book is a powerful exploration of justice and its relationship with trauma survivors. Herman forces us to reconsider our perspective on victims, revealing uncomfortable truths about our justice systems and proposing new ways to implement justice.
Divided into three parts, the book examines the structure and nature of tyranny, patriarchy and white supremacy, reveals how our current system is woefully ill-equipped for victims, and proposes alternative methods of justice, offering hopeful new ways to think about its meanings and possibilities.
