Celebrating The Twentieth Anniversary Of The Groundbreaking Testimony, This Collection Brings Together The Leading Academics From A Range Of Scholarly Fields To Explore The Meaning, Use, And Value Of Testimony In Law And Politics, Its Relationship To Other Forms Of Writing Like Literature And Poetry, And Its Place In Society.
