Forced Displacement and Postures of Hospitality

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
What is it about the concept of “home” that makes its loss so profound and devastating, and how should the trauma of exile and alienation be approached theologically? M. Jan Holton examines the psychological, social, and theological impact of forced displacement on communities in the Congo and South Sudan and on indigenous Batwa tribespersons in Uganda, as well as on homeless U.S. citizens and on U.S. soldiers returning from the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. She draws on ethnographic work in Africa, extensive research in practical theology, sociology, and psychology, as well as on professional work and personal experiences in America and abroad. In doing so she explores how forced displacement disrupts one’s connection with the home place and the profound characteristics it fosters that can help people lean toward flourishing spiritually and psychologically throughout their lifetime. Displacement invites a social alienation that can become deeply institutionalized, threatening the moral well being of us all. Longing For Home offers a frame for understanding how communities can respond to refugees and various homeless populations by cultivating hospitality outside of their own comfort zones. This essential study addresses an urgent interreligious global concern and Holton’s thoughtful and compelling work offers a constructive model for a sustained practical response.

How do some communities around the world that suffer outrageous violence and trauma manage, with few outside resources, not only to survive, but to thrive? September 11, the devastation of hurricane Katrina, school shootings, and other events of community violence and trauma have taught us, as a nation and a church, about the fundamental importance of building a caring community that fosters resilience and hope. Building the Resilient Community takes a refreshing turn of perspective by giving priority not only to the formally educated voices of the West but to those among the most marginalized and invisible in the world: refugees. Based on ethnographic research in Kakuma Refugee Camp and remote villages of southern Sudan, Holton presents a communal case study of a group of devoutly Christian refugees known as the Lost Boys of Sudan and asks the question, Might they have something to teach us about being a resilient community? As Holton investigates their deeply embedded cultural and religious beliefs that nurture a profound sense of responsibility toward others, we find a communal relationship that reflects a unique sense of care and obligation. This deep frame for communal care breaks through as the root of a remarkable faith narrative that serves to help mitigate symptoms of trauma and to undergird resilience, and may do the same for us.
Reframing Trauma
A Psychospiritual Theory and Theology

As awareness of the widespread presence of trauma grows, popular culture can name everything stressful "traumatic." Yet, diagnostic definitions of trauma overlook cultural understandings that refine our conceptualization of trauma. M. Jan Holton and Jill L. Snodgrass argue for a theory and theology of trauma to navigate such complexities.
In Reframing Trauma, Holton and Snodgrass compile essays that expand our understanding of trauma as a stress-trauma continuum. The volume engages the challenges of racism, eco-violence, and myriad sociopolitical and interpersonal injustices that injure individuals, communities, and the globe. Each essay is grounded in a strength-based approach to trauma and contextualizes our societal negativity bias within spiritual values of hope, growth, and resilience. Meanwhile, the understanding of a trauma-stress continuum avoids diminishing the suffering that emerges from stress and trauma of all kinds.
Holton and Snodgrass also offer a reframed theology of trauma. The volume mines Christian theology and wisdom from other faith traditions for insight into interpersonal and communal woundedness that, paradoxically, both expands and narrows our understandings of trauma. This exploration helps identify implications for spiritually integrated care and counseling, chaplaincy, and pastoral education.
The result is a groundbreaking understanding of stress and trauma as an ever-evolving concept that is imbued with theological and spiritual wisdom. Such wisdom eschews the limitations of Western understandings of trauma. This wisdom offers insight into how stressful and traumatic experiences can be both life-limiting and life-giving, both despair-inducing and the impetus for growth and resilience.
Reframing Trauma will engage educators in pastoral and practical theology, spirituality, and psychology; care practitioners in congregational and healthcare settings; and clinical mental health professionals who offer spiritually integrated care. Likewise, trained Christian laity will find the book an invaluable resource for cultivating an inclusive and meaningful understanding of trauma in their congregational caregiving.
