The central theme of this book is the operation of intersecting discourses of
power, privilege and positioning as they are revealed in fraught encounters
between in-groups and out-groups in our deeply fractured world. The authors
offer a unique perspective on inter-group dynamics and structural violence at
local, societal, cultural and global levels, dissecting processes of toxic ‘othering’
and psycho-social (re-)traumatisation.
The book offers the Diogenes Paradigm as a unique conceptual tool with
which to analyse the ways in which those of us who come to be located outside
or on the margins of dominant social structures are, in one way or another, the
inheritors of the legacies of centuries of oppression and exclusion. This analysis
offers a distinctive psycho-social redefinition of trauma that foregrounds the
relationship between the inhospitable environments we generate and the experiences
of un-housedness that we thereby perpetuate.
Written in an engaging and accessible style, Psycho-social Explorations of
Trauma, Exclusion and Violence directly addresses pressing global issues of
racial trauma, human mobility and climate disaster, and offers a manifesto for
the creative re-imagining of the places and spaces in which conversations about
restructuring and reparation can become sustainable. This is an essential and
compelling book for anyone committed to social justice, especially for all practitioners
working in health, social care and community justice settings, and
researchers and academics across the behavioural and social sciences.
