The Unruly Dead: Spirits, Memory, and State Formation in Timor-Leste: Critical Human Rights
Autor Lia Kenten Limba Engleză Hardback – 20 aug 2024
With generous, careful ethnography and incisive analysis, Kent challenges comfortable, linear narratives of transitional justice and argues that this memory work is reshaping the East Timorese social and political order—a process in which the dead are active, and sometimes disruptive, participants. Community ties and even the landscape itself are imbued with their presence and demands, and the horrific scale of mass death in recent times—at least a third of the population perished during the Indonesian occupation—means Timor-Leste’s dead have real, significant power in the country’s efforts to remember, recover, and reestablish itself.

Recenzii
“An important intervention into transitional justice scholarship. Kent interrupts established narratives and problematizes assumptions about victims and their temporal location in the past. Convincing, persuasive, and eminently readable.”
“Paying close attention to how the dead make claims on life and the political community in the aftermath of devastating violence, Kent offers a profound and compelling ethnography of how, in responding, Timorese survivors escape official necro-governmental projects and attempt on their own to re-member their dead through everyday technologies of truth and self.”
