Oppression and political violence shatter victimsâ (TM) identities, their relationships, communities and the meaning of their world as a safe and coherent place. However, while some people suffer traumatising long term effects, others become stronger and more resilient, able to rebuild their lives in the aftermath of tragedy. Reconstructing Trauma and Meaning is an invitation to revisit, bear witness and listen to the stories of suffering and healing of survivors of apartheid repression in South Africa. This work is an exploration of the life trajectories of former victims of gross human rights violations during apartheid and their creative ways of reconstructing meaning after trauma. Their life narratives, shaped by social, political and cultural realities, are a valuable contribution to the collective memory of the nation, as an intrinsic part of the continuous process of reconciliation and transformation in South Africa.\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ileana Carmen Rogobete\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1443880094\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781443880091\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge Scholars Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/14\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 255\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.90w x 1.00d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ileana Carmen Rogobete","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":50665542025471,"sku":"9781443880091","price":81.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/reconstructing-trauma-and-meaning-ileana-carmen-rogobete-9781443880091","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
