History, Trauma, and Healing in Postcolonial Narratives

Reconstructing Identities

von O. Ifowodo
What would it mean to read postcolonial writings under the prism of trauma? Ogaga Ifowodo tackles these questions through a psycho-social examination of the lingering impact of imperialist domination, resulting in a refreshing complement to the cultural-materialist studies that dominate the field.
