ABSTRACT
The introduction lays out the central concern of this book: the problem of impunity for the crime of apartheid, and with how photographs, as a medium of temporal return, can serve to contest this failure of accountability. The introduction provides a brief description of the seven chapters that constitute the book. The question of how impunity in the past is bound to injustice in the present is the thread that runs through the chapters that are assembled here, which focus on acts of individual and mass violence committed during and after apartheid, and on practices of refusal and resistance.
