What is the role of folklore in the discussion of catastrophe and
trauma? How do disaster survivors use language, ritual, and the
material world to articulate their experiences? What insights and
tools can the field of folkloristics offer survivors for navigating
and narrating disaster and its aftermath? Can folklorists
contribute to broader understandings of empathy and the roles of
listening in ethnographic work? We Are All Survivors is a
collection of essays exploring the role of folklore in the wake of
disaster. Contributors include scholars from the United States and
Japan who have long worked with disaster-stricken communities or
are disaster survivors themselves; individual chapters address
Hurricane Katrina, Hurricane Maria, and two earthquakes in Japan,
including the earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear disaster of 2011.
Adapted from a 2017 special issue of Fabula (from the International
Society for Folk Narrative Research), the book includes a revised
introduction, an additional chapter with original illustrations,
and a new conclusion considering how folklorists are documenting
the COVID-19 pandemic. We Are All Survivors bears witness to
survivors' expressions of remembrance, grieving, and healing.
