Description

In the early twenty-first century, trauma is seemingly everywhere, whether as experience, diagnosis, concept, or buzzword.

Yet even as many scholars consider trauma to be constitutive of psychological modernity or the post-Enlightenment human condition, historical research on the topic has overwhelmingly focused on cases, such as World War I or the Holocaust, in which Western experiences and actors are foregrounded.

There remains an urgent need to incorporate the methods and insights of recent historical trauma research into a truly global perspective.

The chapters in Traumatic Pasts in Asia make just such an intervention, extending Euro-American paradigms of traumatic experience to new sites of world-historical suffering and, in the process, exploring how these new domains of research inform and enrich earlier scholarship.
