Generational trauma refers to the transmission of psychological and emotional wounds across multiple generations, particularly within communities that have experienced significant historical and collective trauma. This concept has been extensively explored in diasporic studies, examining the lasting effects of displacement, colonization, slavery, war, and other forms of systemic oppression on individuals and their descendants. Arjun Appadurai observes that forced exits can be created by traumas of environment, economy, or national civil war. Over time, the use of generational trauma in diasporic studies has evolved, shedding light on its impact and relevance within various fields of inquiry.
