The Poetics of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder in Postmodern Literature provides an interdisciplinary exploration in early medical trauma treatment and the emergent postmodern canon of the 1960s and 1970s. By identifying key postmodern literary tropes (paranoia, uncanniness, biomediation) as products of an overarching post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) narrative paradigm, this concise study reveals unexplored aspects of the canonical novels at hand—such as the link between individual and collective traumatization—highlights the presence of epic elements in postmodern narratives, and identifies the influence of emerging psychiatric treatment on the post-WWII novels at hand. Performing a medical humanities reading of Thomas Pynchon’s Gravity’s Rainbow (1973), Kurt Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse-5 (1969), and Joseph Heller’s Catch-22 (1961), this book introduces a novel way of examining trauma at the intersection of narrative, history, and medicine and recalibrates the importance of postmodern politics of transformation, while making the case for an aesthetics of trauma. By examining the historico-political developments that dictated the formation of PTSD in the wake of the wars in Korea and Vietnam, this book argues that the perception of PTSD symptoms directly influenced aesthetic and literary tropes of the Cold War era.

Violence in major cities of Northern Nigeria has been recurring since the nation's 1960 independence. Although many scholars have analyzed the violence through different perspectives and several solutions applied, violence have continued to prevail within the region. The ability to manage a conflict depends to a larger extend on the indepthness of its analysis. This book is not like any other written about this issue. It is a research study conducted under the guidance of USA Review Board and highly experienced academic scholars of Conflict Analysis and Resolution. It was categorized as the most comprehensive report on the conflict. Extensive literature review, related conflict theories and concepts were applied for proper analysis. The goal for this publication is to shed limelight to this perspective for possible solution to a conflict that has lingered for more than 40 years with genocidal deaths and massive loss of properties.

Kukaan muu ei tahtonut minulle pahaakuin te, veriveljet,ja silti aloin pelätä olemattomia.Kolmas polvi on runokirja, olematta kuitenkaan niin kovin runollinen. Se voisi olla vaikka elokuvakäsikirjoitus tai elämäntapaopas downshiftaajille.Se on saanut innoituksensa sodan kokeneen suvun kyseenalaisista selviytymiskeinoista aina kolmanteen polveen asti. Joukosta nousee yksi, joka katkaisee puhumattomuuden kierteen ristisointuisin seurauksin.Iro Kivi (s. 1970) on tamperelainen kuvataiteilija ja kolmannen polven sotatietoinen. Tämä on hänen ensimmäinen runokirjansa. 12-vuotiaana hän esiintyi eri tapahtumissa lausuen Katri Valan runoa Pesäpuu palaa, joka kuvaa sodan mielettömyyttä.Sellaista asiaa ei ole,mitä ei voisi runollistaakun niitä on monta,syntyy ihminen,kun niitä on tarpeeksi,syntyy kirjokansi.
