Jennifer James’ life has been anything from ordinary. The subject of hatred from her father made her delve into a life of broken relationships and friendships and the excuse that she is not the project of her own actions. After a brutal beating from her father when she was seven years old, Jennifer James struggles to find her place, whether in life or in her many relationships. Something from her past is haunting her. Is her mind playing tricks or is somebody pulling the strings? Jennifer cannot seem to figure out why bad things keep happening to her and to those around her. Even as she has children, there is always someone lurking in the background, plotting their next move to bring her down. Also introduced is Jennifer’s sister, Theresa, and her own take on her sister’s life. She also deals with the dysfunction of her own relationship with her child’s father and learning that first loves are hard to get over.
In Good Victims, Roxani Krystalli investigates the politics of victimhood as a feminist question. Based on in-depth engagement in Colombia over the course of a decade, Krystalli shows how victimhood becomes a pillar of reimagining the state in the wake of war, and of bringing a vision of that state into being through bureaucratic encounters. The book also sheds light on the ethical and methodological dilemmas that arise when contemplating the legacies of transitional justice mechanisms.
