Synopsis "The Burden of Heritage: Hauntings of Generational Trauma on Black Lives"

The Burden of Heritage: Hauntings of Generational Traumaon Black Lives is a timely addition to the literature on inter- andtransgenerational trauma. The book addresses black ancestral trauma passed downthe generations, highlighting the ongoing impact on black lives. Aileen Alleyne explores the unheeded dimensions ofindividual and collective identity trauma, paying particular attention to thethemes and concepts of identity shame, black identity wounding and culturalenmeshment. The author expands on her striking concept, the 'internaloppressor', that inhibits self-belief, full agency and potential. She reworksthe psychoanalytic concept of 'hauntings', separating it from Freud'sinterpretation as unconscious repression, and presents it as a living andconscious element of the black trauma burden. To break the cycle ofgenerational trauma, Alleyne suggests an active process of separation fromarchaic attachments, and engagement in intentional modes of transformation. Alleyne makes use of her own experiences throughout, alongside therapeutic suggestions, approaches and theoretical handles forsteadying the practitioner in the consulting room. The book weaves thepersonal, historical, socio-political and theoretical, and includes countlessobservational examples, clinical vignettes and case material. The Burden of Heritage offers effective tools topractitioners who work therapeutically with black and minority ethnic clients, and highlights ways to strengthen critical enquiry for deeper conceptual andtheoretical understanding of generational trauma.
