The Politics of Trauma

Book •
The Politics of Trauma gathers essays and analyses that interrogate how trauma is both produced by and embedded within political systems, policies, and power relations.

Edited by Staci K. Haines, the book highlights community-based and collective approaches to healing that challenge individualistic frameworks.

Contributors explore how structural violence, oppression, and social policy shape traumatic experiences and inhibit recovery, advocating for justice-centered responses.

The volume emphasizes practical frameworks for healing justice, mutual aid, and community accountability as alternatives to punitive or purely clinical interventions.

By centering marginalized voices, the book reframes trauma as a social and political phenomenon requiring collective solutions.
