Zadie Smith and Postcolonial Trauma: Decolonising Trauma, Decolonising Selves by

Description: Zadie Smith and Postcolonial Trauma by Beatriz Pérez Zapata Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Using the frameworks of trauma and memory studies, this monograph analyses Zadie Smiths work to foreground postcolonial redefinitions of trauma that challenge universal methods of coping with suffering in global times. Publisher Description This monograph analyses Zadie Smiths White Teeth, On Beauty, NW, The Embassy of Cambodia, and Swing Time as trauma fictions that reveal the social, cultural, historical, and political facets of trauma. Starting with Smiths humorous critique of psychoanalysis and her definition of original trauma, this volume explores Smiths challenge of Western theories of trauma and coping, and how her narratives expose the insidiousness of (post)colonial suffering and unbelonging. This book then explores transgenerational trauma, the tensions between remembering and forgetting, multidirectional memory, and the possibilities of the ambiguities and contradictions of the postcolonial and diasporic characters Smith depicts. This analysis discloses Smiths effort to ethically redefine trauma theory from a postcolonial and decolonial standpoint, reiterates the need to acknowledge and work through colonial histories and postcolonial forms of oppression, and critically reflects on our roles as witnesses of suffering in global times.
