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.
