Summary
"This book applies a unique mix of psychosocial methods to understand the complexity of emotional, cognitive and ideological responses to human rights violations. It examines the banal quality of the everyday vocabularies that people use to make sense of human rights violations, and to justify whether or not to intervene."--Back cover.
