Testimony Crises of Witnessing in Literature, Psychoanalysis and History

"In a country like the United States, where we make a practice out of startegically erasing memories that lay bare the harsh realities of the ideology that drives our history of violence and domination, and in classrooms where we generally ignore the voices and experiences of students - a great many of whom have witnessed the brutality of the streets, poverty, racism, and discrimination - the lessons of this book are a must." -- Harvard Educational Review, Summer 1995
"In subsequent essays Felman displays her considerable literay prowess. Her analysis of Albert Camus's The Plague and The Fall as Holocaust literature is compelling, so muchso that it drove this reader to reread these works and to read them quite differently." -- Oral History Review
". . . a remarkable book for many reasons. Testimony endows the survivor, the victim and its witness with a sober and forceful way of attesting to the unnamable and invisible presence of its event." -- Psychoanalytic Books
