This volume explores intergenerational trauma among refugee communities displaced throughout the world. Considering patterns and findings across disciplines, cultural contexts, and methodologies, the volume addresses the way trauma is passed on generationally among populations characterized by a large exodus from various regions, and communities in which intergenerational trauma can be observed among second-generation youth. Drawing on studies of displaced communities worldwide, this comprehensive and interdisciplinary analysis examines the effects of transgenerational trauma. It explores definitions and concepts of intergenerational trauma, comparing and contrasting perspectives across generations, and the mechanisms at work in its transmission. The volume is well suited for scholars across social sciences with interests in memory studies, political violence, and refugee and diaspora studies.
