For racial minority immigrants in the United States, trauma can have
both historical and ongoing sources. Today’s immigrants face a
dangerous mix of rising nationalism and xenophobia, alarming rates of
displacement within and across nations, war, trafficking, terrorism,
and deportation. Multiple traumas stem from these experiences and can
be exacerbated by interpersonal violence and other forms of
marginalization within communities. This book examines the lasting
impact of trauma for racial minority immigrants and subsequent
generations. Each chapter explores both the stress and resilience
of immigrant groups in the United States, as well as clinical or
community-based efforts to address the multiple traumas that affect
immigrants and their children. While considering the socioecological
contexts of immigrants, the chapters reflect a diversity of
theoretical perspectives needed to expand existing treatments for
trauma, such as multicultural, feminist, womanist, psychodynamic,
cognitive-behavioral, and humanistic theories. In the nuanced pages
of this book, you will deepen your understanding of the immigrant
experience and develop professional skills to help heal traumatic
stress faced by racial minority immigrants.
