AIDS-Trauma and Politics: American Literature and the Search for a Witness

by Aimee Pozorski

This book revisits representations of AIDS in the 1980s in the U.S. in order to highlight a discourse of trauma and witness that emerged in the wake of a crisis. The book also emphasizes the potential of literary language to call attention to historical trauma where other discourses may fail.
