Jonathan M. Hansen Books

Jonathan M. Hansen, an intellectual historian, explores the complexities of American identity, imperialism, and nationalism. His scholarship delves into the historical evolution of apology and examines the long-standing presence of post-traumatic stress in American warfare, even before the concept of trauma was widely recognized. Hansen's work analyzes these themes through a broad lens, incorporating longitudinal studies of Western culture and literature alongside cross-cultural examinations. He investigates how societies grapple with reconciliation and the psychological impact of conflict, offering deep insights into historical and enduring human experiences.
