Harm takes shape in and through what is suppressed, left out, or taken for granted. This book is a guide to understanding and uncovering what is left unsaid—whether concealed or silenced, presupposed or excluded. Drawing on a variety of real-world examples, narrative criminologist Lois Presser outlines how to determine what or who is excluded from textual materials. With strategies that can be added to the tool kits of social researchers and activists alike, Unsaid provides a richly layered approach to analyzing and dismantling the power structures that both create and arise from what goes without saying.
Lois Presser is Professor of Sociology and Distinguished Professor in the Humanities at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. She is a coeditor of Narrative Criminology: Understanding Stories of Crime and the author of Inside Story: How Narratives Drive Mass Harm, Been a Heavy Life: Stories of Violent Men, and Why We Harm.
