Course description

This course examines various literary, historical, and political responses to the Cambodian genocide, particularly literary testimony by survivors and governmental efforts to bring the perpetrators to justice. The course considers how historical and political responses often use survivor testimony for individual purposes, thereby questioning the credibility of the testimony and undermining both the process of healing for survivors as well as the serving of justice. To pursue these questions, students read selections from novels and poetry written by Cambodian survivors, along with historical accounts of the genocide and analyses of attempts by the Cambodian government and the international community to bring the perpetrators to justice.
