Autobiography has had a major role to play in this âage of traumaâ, and these essays turn to diverse contexts that have received little attention to date: partition narratives in India, Cambodian and Iranian rap, refugee letters from Nauru, graffiti in Tanzania, and the silent spaces of trauma in Chile and Guantanamo. The contexts and media of these autobiographical trauma texts are diverse, yet they are linked by attention to questions of who gets to speak\/write\/inscribe autobiographically and how and where and why, and how can silences in the wake of traumatic experiences be read.
