This book draws together international scholars to examine the
representation of female trauma and women's version of history in
contemporary literature and culture. Focusing on texts by or about
women, the book explores the variety of representational strategies
used to depict female traumatic experiences, and articulates the
complex relation between trauma, gender and signification. Taking
an interdisciplinary approach to trauma, the authors analyse a
range of genres including fictional texts, autobiography, comics
and film. Writers discussed include: Alice Walker, Eva Figes,
Cristina Garcia, Toni Morrison, Alice Munro, Dorothy Allison, Diane
Noomin and Maxine Hong Kingston, among others. Demonstrating a rich
plurality of perspectives, the volume sheds light on the power of
literature and art to enable minority subjects to come to terms
with loss and trauma.
