Sommario/riassunto

This book generates innovative insights into the relational nature of place and cultural trauma and healing. The book adopts a moral ecology framework to consider the complexity of social and political lives as set within spatial, geographical, biological and ideological contexts. A range of international case studies are explored, from Australia, South America, Asia and Europe. This book brings together discourse on human experiences of trauma and violence with a reflection on how both place and non-human species might also be a part of that experience.
