Hello, Thank you for your reply to my earlier message. I would like to get the word out about a new book that applies Bakhtin which has just been published by Northwestern University Press. The title is Testimony after Catastrophe: Narrating the Traumas of Political Violence. I am interested in ways for me to get the word out on my book, including a book review, or article in a newsletter, or presentation at meetings etc... If you are aware of any of these possibilities, I'd greatly appreciate it if you'd let me know. A description of the book appears below and in the attachment. Thanks Steve Weine Dr. Stevan M. Weine is the author of Testimony after Catastrophe: Narrating the Traumas of Political Violence published in 2006 by Northwestern University Press. Testimony after Catastrophe is a deeply involving, compassionate, and occasionally confrontational blend of dialogic theory and practical experience emerging from the author’s decade-long work in Europe and Chicago with survivors of the Balkan wars. Stevan Weine focuses on the hope survivors express again and again that, no matter what horrors or humiliations they have endured, some good might come of their stories. Weine examines testimonies from four historical nightmares of the twentieth century and, applying the theory of Mikhail Bakhtin, seeks to read them as the stories they are meant to be, fully conveying their legitimacy, resourcefulness, power­and, finally, hope. Caryl Emerson author of The First Hundred Years of Mikhail Bakhtin wrote: “Weine is a wonderfully graceful writer, and his subject matter is central to our time”. Jerrold M. Post, author of Leaders and Their Followers in a Dangerous World, wrote, “Transcending a clinical approach, this path breaking book brings an interdisciplinary perspective to the testimony.”
