This book explores how transnational fiction can intervene in discourse surrounding the â war on terrorâ to advocate for marginalised perspectives.
Sarah O¿Brien (PhD) completed her doctoral work at Maynooth University, Ireland, in 2019. Her research areas relate to trauma, memory, south Asian fictions of the "war on terror," and postcolonial and world literatures more broadly.

"Trauma and Fictions of the 'War on Terror': Disrupting Memory lucidly and urgently sheds light on multiple processes and forms of marginalisation in the transnational post-9/11 trauma context. Sarah O'Brien's important book affirms the role of postcolonial literary interventions and imaginative geographies in bringing attention to invisible and less visible experiences of violence. This study enlarges and transforms our understanding of Afghanistan's haunted and haunting histories in a global context by presenting incisive readings of the ethics and politics of representation of trauma in Khaled Hosseini (The Kite Runner), Nadeem Aslam (The Wasted Vigil, The Blind Man's Garden) and Kamila Shamsie (Burnt Shadows)." Dr Rita Sakr, Maynooth University, Ireland.
"This book destabilizes our traditional notions of hegemonic post-9/11 narratives by offering new insight into the traumas inflicted by U.S. imperial power on civilians and its increasing pursuit of the 'war on terror.' Most importantly, through counter-narratives written by marginalised voices, the author's provocative arguments situate new and insightful discussions on U.S. imperial rule not encountered since Anne McClintock's Imperial Leather." Shane A. McCoy, Lecturer, Department of English at Middle Tennessee State University, USA
