Michael Newman

La jaquette indique : "This is an original and readable contribution to defining the nature of justice after the fall of repressive regimes. While considering transitional justice as conventionally defined, Michael Newman's path-breaking work explores broader conceptions of justice through a discussion of the lives and works of six writers: Victor Serge in Stalinist Russia, Albert Camus in Vichy France, Jorge Semprún in Spain under Franco, Ngugi wa Thiong'o in colonial and post-colonial Kenya, Ariel Dorfam in Chile under Pinochet, Nadine Gordimer in apartheid South Africa. Each lived under a brutal regime, was prepared to take substantial risks in order to contribute to its overthrow, and survived a transition to a new regime, and each wrote deeply-thought works derived from a combination of lived experience and intellectual and artistic creation. their insights are applicable far bayond the circumstances under which they wrote."
