AIDS-Trauma and Politics considers American literary
representations of the social and political silence surrounding the
AIDS crisis in the U.S. in the 1980s. The book offers close
readings of such authors as Paul Monette, Mark Doty, Rafael Campo,
Sarah Schulman, Tony Kushner, and Larry Kramer in order to argue
that the AIDS crisis was born largely without a witness and, as a
result, marks a significant trauma in U.S. history. Grounded by
trauma studies, AIDS-Trauma and Politics argues that the arts,
exemplified here by literature and film, uniquely underscore social
problems otherwise overlooked by such discourses as politics, the
law, and journalism. Defining the 1980s AIDS crisis as a perfect
case, this book proposes to redefine trauma not simply as an event
that happened too soon, but rather as an ongoing series of
oversights resulting in a failure to acknowledge or witness the
humanity of those who suffer.
