Building on the work of authors like Faircloug, Van Dijk, and Wodak, the present authors have righlty analysed power structures and ideologies. [...] An interesting case study for critical discourse analysis.

I found this book very interesting, highly readable and thought provoking. [...] Reconciliation is an international phenomenon of concern and <i>Discourse and Human Rights Violations</i> offers a valuable and accessible account of sound theoretically supported research that has elicited rich and fascinating historical narratives. The volume is an interesting presentation of the complicated domain of human rights discourse that indicates the rich potential for multidisciplinary research between linguistics and a range of related disciplines. [...] This volume encourages its readers to become more active in that community to reveal these gross injustices and assist in the healing process.
