In this book, Erin Kamler brings together feminist international research with the writing, composing, and production of an original musical designed to critique the discourse about the trafficking of women in Thailand.

Although the idea of hindsight is frequently associated with the biases, distortions, and outright lies of memoryΓÇöas in the infamous "20-20" scenario or the conviction that one "knew it all along"ΓÇöMark Freeman maintains that this process of looking backward over the terrain of the past can also serve as a profound source of insight, understanding, and self-knowledge. Consider Tolstoy''s harrowing tale of Ivan Ilych, revisiting his past on the eve of his death, onlyto realize that the life he had been living was a lie. Consider as well the many times in our own lives when, upon reviewing the past, we are able to see what we could not, or would not, see earlier on. Hindsight is also intimately connected to what Freeman calls narrative reflection: Through the distance conferred by time, we can look back on past experiences and see them anew, as episodes in an evolving story. As important as "being in the now" and "living in the moment" are, it is no less important to pause at times and, by looking backward, seek to discern those aspects of experience that might otherwise escape our notice. Far from necessarily leading to deception and lies, therefore,hindsight can lead to wisdom and indeed truthΓÇöof a sort, Freeman contends, is only available in retrospect. In addition to serving as a central site of self-knowledge, hindsight plays an integral role in the process of moral growth. For, through hindsight, there emerges the opportunity not only to see the possible errors of our ways but to transcend them and thereby to move on to better ways of being in the world. Drawing on psychology, philosophy, literature, and personal experience, this wide-ranging volume offers an insightful and engaging exploration of the role of hindsight both in discerningthe personal past and in deepening moral life.
