Call for Chapter Proposals
Intergenerational Trauma in Refugee Communities
This book proposes to explore intergenerational/generational trauma, or ways in which trauma experienced by one generation affects the well-being of future generations, among refugee communities displaced throughout the world. The book will focus on legacy of trauma and how historical, cultural, and economic trauma affect survivors’ future generations. While trauma research literature documents single-episode effects of trauma, the long-term and intergenerational effects of traumatic experiences across refugee communities and cultural contexts is still a gap in the literature. This book seeks to include patterns and findings across disciplines, cultural contexts, and methodologies addressing how transmission of trauma occurs in specific refugee communities.
Objectives
The Intergenerational Trauma in Refugee Communities has the following objectives:
1. To provide a comprehensive and interdisciplinary assessment of the effects and impact of transgenerational trauma in select refugee communities;
2. To discuss the definitions and concepts of intergenerational trauma, and the epistemological commonalities and/or discrepancies between global and locally- culturally sensitive perspectives of trauma across the generations;
3. To explore the main operative methods, representations, and social mechanisms of intergenerational trauma by refugee groups according to the context in which they operate and the related mnemonic structure within their respective communities.
