Caswell pays homage to the subjects of the heart-breaking mug shots taken at a Khmer Rouge prison and examines the impact that the photographs have had over the years on different viewers. Her humane, sophisticated, and unblinking book sharpens and enhances our understanding of the so-called Pol Pot era."—David Chandler, Monash University, "Caswell pays homage to the subjects of the heart-breaking mug shots taken at a Khmer Rouge prison and examines the impact that the photographs have had over the years on different viewers. Her humane, sophisticated, and unblinking book sharpens and enhances our understanding of the so-called Pol Pot era."--David Chandler, Monash University, An exemplary work. Caswell's biography of an archive is made compelling by her fine scholarship, skilled storytelling, and passion for justice."—Verne Harris, author of Archives and Justice, An important book that will reward re-reading for years to come. Using an archival frame of reference, Caswell describes the reasons for the creation and subsequent uses of the familiar yet tragic mug shots of Tuol Sleng prison victims, demonstrating the many silences these records encode and illustrating how they can be employed to transform narratives of victimhood into narratives of agency and witness."—Andrew Flinn, University College London, "An important book that will reward re-reading for years to come. Using an archival frame of reference, Caswell describes the reasons for the creation and subsequent uses of the familiar yet tragic mug shots of Tuol Sleng prison victims, demonstrating the many silences these records encode and illustrating how they can be employed to transform narratives of victimhood into narratives of agency and witness."--Andrew Flinn, University College London, "A worthy attempt to foreground the importance of archives by revealing the layers of silences associated with the mug shots of the Tuol Sleng victims and demonstrating how their re-usages contribute to the disclosing of lost narratives."-- Testimony (Belgium), "A welcome contribution to scholarship on photography, human rights, and the making of historical memory in Cambodia and beyond. In Caswell's account, the [Tuol Sleng Prison] archive, its material contents, and history itself are revealed to be open-ended processes rather than fixed contents. Like the struggle to hold perpetrators accountable, remember the victims, and rebuild a devastated country, the photographs of Tuol Sleng remain unfinished."-- Pacific Affairs Book Review, "An exemplary work. Caswell's biography of an archive is made compelling by her fine scholarship, skilled storytelling, and passion for justice."--Verne Harris, author of Archives and Justice
