Abstract
Psychological trauma, as a concept and category, now seems on everyone’s mind. Most of the research conducted specifically about the history of trauma, however, has taken three great historical experiences–World War One, the Nazi Holocaust, and the Vietnam War–to be paradigmatic of modern mental trauma. Yet if our collective understanding of the psychology of traumatic memory is to advance in the early twenty-first century, we must greatly broaden our geographical and conceptual vision beyond the most familiar Western events. In light of the radical subjectivity of traumatic experience, the need to globalize the study of trauma is especially crucial.
