Trauma and its aftermath pose acute problems for historical
representation and understanding. In Writing History, Writing
Trauma, Dominick LaCapra critically analyzes attempts by theorists
and literary critics to come to terms with trauma and with the
crucial role post-traumatic testimonies - notably Holocaust
testimonies - assume in thought and in writing. These attempts are
addressed in a series of six interlocking essays that adapt
psychoanalytic concepts to historical analysis, while employing
sociocultural and political critique to elucidate trauma and its
aftereffects in culture and in people. This updated edition
includes a substantive new preface that reconsiders some of the
issues raised in the book.
