Drawing on trauma theory and using an ethnic studies methodology, this book shows how phantasmic novels and films present historical trauma in ways that seek to invite reader/viewer empathy about the cultural groups represented. In so doing, the author argues that these texts also provide models of interracial alliances to encourage contemporary cross-cultural engagement as a restorative response to historical traumas. Further, the author examines how these narratives function as sites of cultural memory that provide a critical purchase on the enormity of enslavement, genocide, and dispossession.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 220mmItem Length: 152mmItem Width: 14mmItem Weight: 268gAuthor: Stella SetkaGenre: Literary CriticismBook Series: Reading Trauma and MemoryTopic: Films & TVRelease Year: 2022 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
