Ethical loneliness is the experience of being abandoned by humanity, compounded by the cruelty of wrongs not being acknowledged. Jill Stauffer examines the root causes of ethical loneliness and difficult truths about the desire and potential for political forgiveness, transitional justice, and political reconciliation. Ethical Loneliness is a book well worth the read for those interested in transitional justice, violence, memory, and theories of non-sovereign subjectivity. Stauffer is a magnificently clear and thoughtful writer with a very strong authorial voice - a rare skill that is always a pleasure to come across.
