PALGRAVE STUDIES IN LIVED RELIGION AND SOCIETAL...

This book is an interdisciplinary exploration of the intertwining impact of violent trauma 
culture  and power through case studies of two ministries serving in different demographic
contexts within the United States. Mass shootings continue to rise in the United States 
including in religious and school contexts  and the U.S. also is ground zero for the now
international Black Lives Matter movement. The author shows how all forms of violent trauma
impact more than individuals -devastating communal relationships and practices of religious or
spiritual meaning-making in the aftermath  and assesses how these impacts differ according to
lived experiences with culture and power. Looking at the two ministries  an urban grassroots
lay ministry organization that serves surviving family members in the aftermath of homicide 
and a denominational ministry that served a church in the aftermath of a political and
religiously motivated shooting  the author develops trauma-specific interdisciplinary tools for
lived religion studies. This book powerfully utilizes an intersectional lens to highlight the
inter-interconnections to be found for those working in faith communities  as well as mental
health. Walsh provides the reader with an opportunity to explore and develop theoretical and
practice perspectives that include: race and ethnicity  religion and spirituality  social class
and ability  sexual orientation  immigration and refugee status  and explores the impact that
oppression and discrimination have on our communities and society. I highly recommend this book
for those who are engaged in working to combat domination at the local  national and global
levels. - Gary Bailey  Simmons College  USA
