This book explores the role of literature in the aftermath of political conflict. Essays explore concepts like truth and reconciliation, post-traumatic memory, historical reckoning, therapeutic storytelling, transitional justice, archival memory, and questions about victimhood and reparation. The book focuses on the experience of post-Apartheid South Africa, post-Troubles Northern Ireland, and post-dictatorship Latin America to define a new field for literary studies, and open it up to scholars working in other regional and national contexts. This volume is a valuable resource for scholars of Comparative Literature, Peace and Conflicts Studies, Human Rights, and other disciplines.
