This volume was first published by Inter-Disciplinary Press in 2016. Trauma is no longer, and perhaps has never been, an uncommon occurrence - it is now commonplace in human experience. Notoriously difficult to define, when one tries to offer a definition of trauma that works across disciplines and beyond the boundaries of subjects, one enters a new territory. This collection participates in a reconstructive movement in which the boundaries of trauma, trauma theory, and trauma recovery are flung wide. The vastly differing experiences, contexts, and critical reflections of the contributors serve to ensure this monograph offers a fresh voice in the field of Trauma Studies. This collection of essays on trauma seeks to open dialogue and expand discussion. Blurring the boundaries of traditional disciplinary lines, this monograph strives to interrupt and rupture the debate on trauma. It is in the fissures created by such rupture that new and compelling voices can be heard.
