As part of the contemporary reassessment of trauma that goes beyond
Freudian psychoanalysis, Laurie Vickroy theorizes trauma in the
context of psychological, literary, and cultural criticism.
Focusing on novels by Margaret Atwood, William Faulkner, Toni
Morrison, Jeanette Winterson, and Chuck Palahniuk, she shows how
these writers try to enlarge our understanding of the relationship
between individual traumas and the social forces of injustice,
oppression, and objectification. Further, she argues, their work
provides striking examples of how the devastating effects of
trauma?whether sexual, socioeconomic, or racial?on individual
personality can be depicted in narrative.Vickroy analyzes the ways
in which her selected texts engage readers both cognitively and
ethically to reveal their own roles in systems of power and how
they internalize the ideologies of those systems.
