'Seu's nuanced discussion of the widespread borrowing by participants of vocabularies or scripts from other contexts, the complex interaction of such scripts (the 'web of passivity'), and the psychological defence mechanisms used to sustain them, is both perceptive and breaks new ground.' - Journal of Human Rights Practice
