Klappentext
The power of storytelling in troubling timesViolence, pain and punishment dominate portrayals of social problems but the reality is more complex. In the world of actual people and experience, other, more hopeful stories are told in relation to crime and harm: narratives of justice, cooperation, kindness, and redemption. Narrating Justice and Hope examines the rich potential for narratives to do good in the context of interpersonal harm and the devastating social conditions of the present moment-including climate crisis, political polarization, and interconnected systems of inequality. Featuring a stellar list of contributors from across the globe, this volume asks: How do people produce good stories in the context of these harms? What types of narratives will create lasting social change? What does it take to tell good stories?
Each chapter examines subjects ranging from the success stories of formerly incarcerated people, women speaking out about sexual violence, and young climate activists. Throughout Narrating Justice and Hope, stories and storytelling thwart trouble, foster healing and connection, and envision better futures. The collection also grapples with critical issues including the nature of good, the performative nature of storytelling, and the hazards of exploiting subjugated people's stories. With chapters from a number of well-known scholars, this volume will be an important contribution for sociology, criminology, and legal scholars.
