Psychologists have done a great deal of research on the effects of
trauma on the individual, revealing the paradox that violent
experiences are often secreted away beyond easy accessibility,
becoming impossible to verbalize explicitly. However, comparatively
little research has been done on the transgenerational effects of
trauma and the means by which experiences are transmitted from
person to person across time to become intrinsic parts of the
social fabric. With eight contributions covering Africa, Central
and South America, China, Europe, and the Middle East, this volume
sheds new light on the role of memory in constructing popular
histories - or historiographies - of violence in the absence of, or
in contradistinction to, authoritative written histories. It brings
new ethnographic data to light and presents a truly cross-cultural
range of case studies that will greatly enhance the discussion of
memory and violence across disciplines.
