Abstract
A brief detail on the book 'Human Rights and Narrated Lives: The Politics of Recognition', by Kay Schaffer and Sidonie Smith is presented, which raises important and urgent questions about rapidly escalating use of personal narrative and life stories that reflects changed strategies for human rights advocacy. According to this book testimony should best be seen as being in a conversation, often multivocal and always dynamic, in which experiences must be retold in contexts which demand that narrators choose from among highly selective genres, and in which these elicited public testimonies are then repackaged and circulated far beyond the control of the individual narrators either by advocacy organisations, or the media, or by opponents.
