This article examines relationships among orality, silence, and recov- ery in select works of global literature: the several English-language edi- tions of the Lithuanian Jewish South African anti-apartheid human rights advocate Albie Sachs’s English-language memoir Soft Vengeance of a Freedom Fighter (1990); the French, English, Japanese, and Korean ver- sions of the Cambodian human rights advocate Somaly Mam’s memoir Le silence de l’innocence (The Silence of Innocence 2005); and the English, Chinese, and Japanese versions of the Nigerian writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s English-language novel Half of a Yellow Sun (2006). While Sachs’s Soft Vengeance engages with silences concerning both conditions in apartheid South Africa and the frequently unspoken needs of those recovering from devastating injuries, Mam’s Silence of Innocence reveals many of the silences surrounding her own alleged experiences as a sex slave, as well as the global health crisis of sex traf- ficking. For its part, Adichie’s Half of a Yellow Sun exposes the silences of civil war in Nigeria. Although very different texts, separated by thou- sands of miles, these three narratives all draw attention to the uneasy relationship between silence and orality, their various versions/transla- tion solidifying certain silences through orality and revealing even greater complications to recovery on any significant scale.
Abstract
This article examines relationships among orality, silence, and recov- ery in select works of global literature: the several English-language edi- tions of the Lithuanian Jewish South African anti-apartheid human rights advocate Albie Sachs’s English-language memoir Soft Vengeance of a Freedom Fighter (1990); the French, English, Japanese, and Korean ver- sions of the Cambodian human rights advocate Somaly Mam’s memoir Le silence de l’innocence (The Silence of Innocence 2005); and the English, Chinese, and Japanese versions of the Nigerian writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s English-language novel Half of a Yellow Sun (2006). While Sachs’s Soft Vengeance engages with silences concerning both conditions in apartheid South Africa and the frequently unspoken needs of those recovering from devastating injuries, Mam’s Silence of Innocence reveals many of the silences surrounding her own alleged experiences as a sex slave, as well as the global health crisis of sex traf- ficking. For its part, Adichie’s Half of a Yellow Sun exposes the silences of civil war in Nigeria. Although very different texts, separated by thou- sands of miles, these three narratives all draw attention to the uneasy relationship between silence and orality, their various versions/transla- tion solidifying certain silences through orality and revealing even greater complications to recovery on any significant scale.
