Violence and Trauma: Healing South Sudanese Families and Communities is an exploration of the complex interconnection of violence and trauma in the South Sudanese communities. Moving fluidly between narratives in case studies and academic perspectives on violence, trauma and inequalities, Anyieth depicts multidimensional and intergenerational trauma, including repeated exposure to national (war-related violence) and community violence-prolonged experiences of psychological and social injustice and inequalities that intersect with experiences of structural violence that requires repair. Written in an accessible and engaging style that draws on insights from sociology, public health, history, legal studies, and psychoanalysis, this book is vital to the literature on violence, trauma and repair for South Sudanese and related communities.
