Secrets Silences and Betrayals

Secrets Silences and Betrayals is an invitation to readers to consider factoring in the often discarded or censored but useful information held by the dominated. The book's principal claim is that the unsaid weighs in significantly on the scale of semantic construction as that which is said. Thus it legitimates the impact of the absentee in broadening and clarifying knowledge and understanding in most disciplines. In other words just as exogenous epistemologies have underlain and explicated the basis for understanding diverse encounters-social political historical cultural literary etc.-Secrets Silences and Betrayals challenges from a pluridisciplinary angle such highly dominant approaches to investigating the origin nature ways of knowing and limits of human knowledge. It thus yields to the deontological basis to critically reexamine our understanding of the world around us. It is in this regard that the present volume points towards the need for human history to become a cumulative record and re-recording of every human journey and endeavor in life; it brings together disparate voices illuminating topical issues that would be or have been legated to posterity as nonexistent partial or half-truths.
