"Aftershock is about the real war against terror--the struggle for a world in which nobody lives in fear of atrocities perpetrated by human beings. Every day, people who push against violence and injustice or pull for peace and freedom must face their own fears. Many activists also must struggle with "aftershock," the physical and emotional reverberations of frightening, horrifying, or otherwise traumatizing experiences endured in the course of their activism...Aftershock explores the culture of trauma that people have created through our violent exploitation of the Earth, other animals, and one another." (Description from Amazon.com)
This book is available through online booksellers or as a loan from the CAA office library, and select libraries.
