In fact, many Floridians would probably not be surprised to read an article published by a major media outlet describing plummeting foreclosure rates one minute, and another documenting rising foreclosure rates the next. To better understand foreclosure trends throughout the state of Florida, SGS examined an exhaustive index of three primary indicators of foreclosure issued over a three year period (March 2006-February 2009). The first, Lis Pendens, indicates that legal action has been taken on a property. After receiving this notice, it is still possible for the mortgage holder to rectify the delinquent mortgage and avoid foreclosure. The second filing, Notice of Sale, notifies the mortgage holder than the property has been scheduled for foreclosure sale on a specified date. Real Estate Owned (REO) indicates that the bank or mortgage lender now owns the property, most commonly after the property fails to sell at auction. A brief comparison of Lis Pendens, Notices of Sale, and REO's sheds some light on one of the possible reasons for large disparities in reports on foreclosures. Since about March of 2007, there has been a growing gap in the number of Lis Pendens issued and the number of homes that eventually went to auction. One must take great care, therefore, in reporting on statewide foreclosure statistics. While reporting the number of Lis Pendens filed may reflect the number of foreclosure proceedings started, it does not necessarily reflect the number of homes that were eventually sold at auction.

South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission has become the paradigmatic instance of a state mechanism capable of inducing the change from nationalist to politico-social consciousness; so pervasive is its influence that Moroccan and Algerian commissions refer explicitly to the South African example and openly cite it as a model of reconciling the people. This article examines the ways that women's testimony of political violence is called upon in the nationalist postcolony to signify both a primitive sphere outside the boundaries of national memory and public debate and the progressive character of inclusion at the advent of the new state. This paradox is illustrated in the South African TRC's commitment to symbolic reparation and to providing a space for women's testimony despite the refusal of most women to testify. What conceptions of the human are naturalized in state-mandated projects of healing that depend upon such narratives? What new forms of subjection and resistance await the citizens of the modern postcolonial state? It is with these questions about the power of the symbol to deny `voice' while granting the rights of speech that I turn to Asia Djebar's Blanc de l'Algérie, Antjie Krog's Country of My Skull and Zoe Wicomb's David's Story as a counter to the politics of testimony.
