Summary:

"This book explores the inheritance of trauma, distress, and healing from one generation of survivors of the 1984 anti-Sikh violence to the next. It looks at this dyadic relationship and the post-violence context that is marked by their experience of injustice. The book highlights the psycho-social impacts of violence on survivors and their families' everyday struggles against conditions of injustice, marginalization, deprivation, stigma, and threat to one's individual and collective identity. Through interviews and ethnographic explorations, it analyses the lived experiences of survivors, understanding the everyday struggles of suffering and healing and their relationship with their families and the next generation. This book will be of interest to students, teachers, and researchers of psychology, trauma studies, clinical psychology, health psychology, qualitative research, and social psychology. It will also be useful for those interested in interdisciplinary perspectives on mental health, trauma and disaster mental health, ethnography, and qualitative research methodology"-- Provided by publisher.
