From the tragic workings of the Holocaust and Hiroshima to
contemporary examples of genocide in Bosnia and Rwanda, this
provocative collection of original essays examines the enduring
impact of cataclysmic events on the modern human psyche. Inspired
by the career of Robert Jay Lifton, the distinguished contributors
use a wide range of disciplinary and methodological approaches to
probe society, culture, and politics in the nuclear age and they
explore the therapeutic value of artistic expression to witnesses
and survivors of mass violence. The essays convey a message of hope
by displaying the remarkable diversity of human responses to
extreme adversity and by concluding that intellectuals and
professionals have an abiding obligation to act responsibly in a
world of violence and to provide healing images of transformation.
