Drawing on trauma theory and using an ethnic studies methodology, this book shows how phantasmic novels and films present historical trauma in ways that seek to invite reader/viewer empathy about the cultural groups represented. In so doing, the author argues that these texts also provide models of interracial alliances to encourage contemporary cross-cultural engagement as a restorative response to historical traumas. Further, the author examines how these narratives function as sites of cultural memory that provide a critical purchase on the enormity of enslavement, genocide, and dispossession. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Introduction: Phantasmic trauma narratives -- Phantasmic Africanisms: Igbo cosmology in Octavia Butler's Kindred -- Phantasmic Midrashim: the Midrashic roots of Jonathan Safran Foer's Everything is illuminated -- A phantasmic tribalography: the case of LeAnne' Howe's Miko kings: an Indian baseball story -- Projecting the phantasmic -- Conclusion: The call to infinite responsibility. 650 0 $a American literature $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Minorities in motion pictures. 650 0 $a Supernatural in literature. 650 0 $a Supernatural in motion pictures. 650 0 $a Psychic trauma in literature. 650 0 $a Psychic trauma in motion pictures. 650 7 $a American literature $x Minority authors. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00807213 650 7 $a Minorities in motion pictures. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01023282 650 7 $a Psychic trauma in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01081229 650 7 $a Psychic trauma in motion pictures. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01201487 650 7 $a Supernatural in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01138966 650 7 $a Supernatural in motion pictures. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01138968 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781498583848 830 0 $a Reading trauma and memory. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117013759.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=236D57A078F711ECAF30597D2FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
