A difficult, painful, and compelling book in which Levitt weaves a complex analysis of the materiality and meaningfulness of what remains of the quotidian (objects, clothing, detritus) as testimony and witness to trauma. -Elizabeth Castelli, author of Martyrdom and Memory: Early Christian Culture Making

At times provocative and uncomfortable, yet persistently inquisitive, The Objects That Remain is an autobiographically framed investigation-a forensic search, if you will-for traces of evidence in the objects that carry sexual and state violence. The book is an imaginative rethinking of sensory knowledge across multiple scales and eras, and it marks a memorable contribution to cultural analyses of material artifacts as carriers of a crime and a silence. -Simone Gigliotti, editor of The Memorialization of Genocide A difficult, painful, and compelling book in which Levitt weaves a complex analysis of the materiality and meaningfulness of what remains of the quotidian (objects, clothing, detritus) as testimony and witness to trauma. -Elizabeth Castelli, author of Martyrdom and Memory: Early Christian Culture Making
