Transgenerational Trauma

mercredi 9 novembre 2016 à 13:45–14:30 MST

Session Abstract

This study explores the psychological dimension of trauma that is transmissible and demonstrates the ways in which the initial trauma of enslavement reinvents itself.

Target Audience

students, professionals, and scholars of African American literature and those interested in intergenerational transmissions of familial or ethnic history.
