ABSTRACT
The conclusion of this project addresses the recent publication of a trio of follow-up memoirs by women who have already committed their experiences of abduction and prolonged captivity to paper. It situates them amidst growing controversies surrounding claims to truth within memoirs and auto-biographies, maps the ways these shift responsibility to heal from trauma onto the victim herself, erasing the social and political factors that give rise to the phenomenon of abduction and prolonged captivity.
