Did colonialism, a world-historical catastrophe, inflict only
material damage on the colonized, or did it cause psychic injury as
well? What would it mean, then, to read postcolonial writings under
the prism of trauma? In History, Trauma, and Healing in
Post-Colonial Narratives, Ifowodo tackles these questions through a
psycho-social examination of the lingering impact of imperialist
domination. His hybrid method that encompasses historicism,
psychoanalysis and a realist concept of linguistic reference stakes
a bold, new ground in postcolonial studies. The focus is
trans-continental and the analysis centered on primary texts that
explore the African, African-American, and Caribbean experience of
slavery/colonialism. The result is a refreshing and necessary
complement to the cultural-materialist studies that dominate the
field.
