Abstract

"The Trauma Mantras: A Memoir in Prose Poems" by Adrie Kusserow is a reflective narrative of the author's experiences as an anthropologist working in various global locations and with refugees. Through poetic language, Kusserow explores themes such as mental health, technology, and the interconnectedness of individuals within society and nature. The memoir delves into the complexities of participant observation, self-reflection, and the rejection of dichotomous thinking, offering a unique perspective on the transformative power of trauma and the evolving nature of human understanding. Anthropologists, students, and readers interested in migration, globalization, and mental health may find this book insightful and thought-provoking. [Extracted from the article]
