The trauma in question is slavery, not as an institution or as personal experience, but as collective memory: a pervasive remembrance that grounded a people's sense of itself. Combining a broad narrative sweep with more detailed studies of important events and individuals, Eyerman reaches from Emancipation through the Harlem Renaissance, the Depression, the New Deal and the Second World War to the Civil Rights movement and beyond. He offers insights into the intellectual and generational conflicts of identity-formation which have a truly universal significance, as well as providing a compelling account of the birth of African-American identity. Anyone interested in questions of assimilation, multiculturalism and postcolonialism will find this book indispensable.Cambridge cultural social studies.African AmericansRace identitySlaveryUnited StatesPsychological aspectsAfrican AmericansPsychologySlavesUnited StatesPsychologyAfrican AmericansRace identity.SlaveryPsychological aspects.African AmericansPsychology.SlavesPsychology.305.896/073Eyerman Ron253152MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910820831603321Cultural trauma3955117UNINA
