ABSTRACT

This chapter takes the form of a dialogue between two women who experience intersectional oppression – in forms that are similar in some aspects and different in others. Nayak talks of her life in the context of her parents’ migration from separate countries with postcolonial experiences, while Dizadji speaks of the traumatizing experience of being a political refugee in exile, and the traumatizing journey leading up to it. Both then reflect on emotional and locational intersectionality, which allows them to conceptualize traumatization in its intersectional context.
