{"product_id":"trauma-and-memory-austin-sarat-9780804754057","title":"Trauma and Memory: Reading, Healing, and Making Law","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eTrauma and Memory\u003c\/i\u003e explores different dimensions of trauma, both its relationship to the social sphere and to group identity, in order to open up new approaches to trauma from a healing perspective. The book's specific focus is doubly unique: first, because of its interest in the tension between collective and individual trauma (in trauma as socially constructed and related to identities of ethnicity, nationality, gender, and class); and second, because of its interest in the legal and medical professions (in their construction of trauma, their ways of treating it, their failures, and even their production of trauma). \u003ci\u003eTrauma and Memory\u003c\/i\u003e reflects the ways in which, over the last several decades, a growing interest in the social and cultural contexts of law and medicine has transformed the study of both these professions. The authors provide new readings of social and political phenomena--such as immigration, public health, gender discrimination, and transitional justice--in terms of trauma. Finally, they address the therapeutic dimensions of trauma and their relationship to reconciliation via alternative processes such as mediation, truth committees, and other new forms of justice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Austin Sarat\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0804754055\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780804754057\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/22\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.18h x 6.33w x 0.94d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eScitech Book News\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2008 pg. 105","brand":"Austin Sarat","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47427430351103,"sku":"9780804754057","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/trauma-and-memory-austin-sarat-9780804754057","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
