More about the book

Focusing on postcolonial affect, the book explores the disruption of normative emotional exchanges experienced by refugees and during colonial encounters. It examines how these emotional dynamics are reshaped through colonization and persist in decolonization and intergenerational trauma. Robinson introduces "somatics" as a framework for understanding how cultural constructions of reality and identity are influenced by the regulation of emotional experiences.
