Betrayal and Betrayers

The Sociology of Treachery

By: Malin Akerstrom

Betrayal has a deep fascination. It captures our imagination in part because we have all betrayed or been betrayed, in small or large ways. Despite this there has been little serious work on the subject. It was this absence that inspired this book.As Akerstrom notes, betrayal is something that most people have encountered at some point in their lives. She defines betrayal as a breach of trust, when information is shared beyond an agreed upon boundary of relations, whether that boundary is a pair of friends or a nation. Taking as a point of departure Simmers work on secrets and secrecy, Akerstrom discusses categories of.betrayal, and conditions that influence its intensity. Sometimes the betrayer is seen as a hero and at other times a traitor; and sometimes there are competing loyalties. In certain situations, she reminds us, it is difficult to avoid betrayal or the perception of betrayal. Akerstrom discusses strategies people employ to avoid betraying, ranging from not telling, to making sure one does not know about something in the first place. With deft precision, she clarifies distinctions and in the process broadens our understanding.Initially inspired by insights arising from her research on the criminal informer, for which she had done in-depth interviews, Akerstrom supplements these with interviews with policemen. She has also drawn from her experiences in the field of social work, particularly with women's and crime shelters. Using biographies, autobiographies and a broad range of literature related to spies, World War II, the McCarthy era, and recent literature on whistle-blowing, Akerstrom has defined a fascinating theme. While her illustrations are sometimes dramatic, she hopes that readers will perceive obvious parallels with their own experiences. Social psychologists, sociologists, criminologists, and others interested in secrecy, secrets, and those who betray them to others will find this an unusual and absorbing volume.

Night Watch

By: Malin Lindroth

A night-nurse in a psychiatric ward is on duty at the bedside of a sleeping mother who has confessed to the criminal murder of her own child. The nurse finds herself strangely drawn to the silent patient, with whom no word is ever exchanged. But thoughts about the patient's deeds trigger a series of disturbing memories, and as the nurses past gradually unfolds throughout the nightlong vigil, her own troubled story merges with that of the patient. Slowly the chilling nature of their affinity begins to dawn. Lindroth creates a poetic work that is as unflinchingly realistic as it is wryly humorous, and by interweaving scenes from Hans Christian Andersen's tale of "The Little Mermaid, she brilliantly links up familiar events of the present day with the darkness and light of childhood, which leads in turn to the timeless realm of fairytale.

Rolf

By: Malin Lindroth

Rolf är Komvuxvikarie, snart 60 år och bor ovanför Safiren Livs. Inatt har han dödat en flicka. Nu väntar han på polisen som ska komma och förlösa honom från hans brott. Och från hans ensamhet. I Rolf tecknar Malin Lindroth ett porträtt av en man i en flock av män, de obetydliga männen i beiga vinterjackor som varje morgon står och väntar i busskuren. Det är en tillvaro i tystnad och anonymitet, i avsaknad av nära relationer. Rolf är en mörk och underhållande roman som fortsätter och utvidgar den granskning av samhällets normer som Lindroth inledde med Nuckan. Men det är också en mångbottnad roman, om ett människoöde i all sin komplexitet.
