Engagingly written and well thought through, Unsaid offers a compelling conceptual apparatus for considering the centrality of the unsaid, especially in relation to harm-doing and exclusionary, minoritizing practices."—Stephen Frosh, author of Those Who Come After: Postmemory, Acknowledgement and Forgiveness
