This is a book about violence and words. Not the word that is used to legitimize it from the speech of the victors, but the one that bursts in to confront it. Because violence is exercised with language, but it is also fought with it. In a time marked by vulnerability and the struggle for survival, the author recovers the notion of the witness as a survivor. In the face of horror and impunity, testimony is the remaining resource for those who only have their word. And taking it to denounce the grievance thus becomes a form of action.
