New Perspectives on Healing Collective Trauma Towards Social Justice and Communal Well-Being

This book examines how historical injustices, especially enslavement, colonialism, and systemic racism, continue to impact societies today. Gathering interdisciplinary perspectives, it offers practical strategies and hopeful narratives that demonstrate how societies can move from entrenched division towards communal healing.
