A fascinating article for history educators, this investigation provides insight into the historical knowledge that inheritors bring to the history classroom and strategies to help overcome these traumatic events’ negative imposition on their self-identity and ability to act positively in the world.

How can generational trauma be a form of possibility for renewal and strength? This important article investigates how inheritors of collective trauma view history’s workings and how these understandings shape their social positioning. doi.org/10.14324/HER...
