This book explores the voices of terror-attack survivors, focusing on their experiences of hope and hopelessness, memory and counter-memory, and aspirations and counter aspirations. It establishes linkages between the three to understand how they can be structured into a framework to aid terror survivors.
Focusing on the survivors of the 26/11 Mumbai attacks of 2008, the book explores how hope, memory and aspiration influence healing and resilience. It explores the role that hope, memory and aspirations play in recovery. It looks at the agency of the survivors, public memory and disillusionment, and through narratives of the survivors, presents the struggles they go through in the aftermath of the trauma. The book proposes a new lens for understanding the long-term effects of terror events and the lived realities of those who survive them.
It will be of interest to researchers and academics of disaster management, conflict and conflict resolution, political science and international studies, as well as terror survivor communities. It will also be useful to policy makers and bureaucrats, those working with the rehabilitation of terror survivors.
