Description
Trauma: Life Stories of Survivors explores the complex relationship between traumatic experiences and their representation in life stories. Leading academics examine how survivors remember and express themselves, often incorporating elements that are imaginary, fragmented, or symbolic. International case studies reveal the diversity of traumatic experiences, including migration, war, persecution, lynching, and sexual abuse. The book sheds light on the complexity of remembering and forgetting traumatic events, highlighting the ways in which survivors' stories can be both personal and culturally charged. This groundbreaking work is relevant to researchers across various social sciences, offering a new perspective on trauma that will inform studies in psychology, history, women's studies, anthropology, sociology, and cultural studies.
