Queer Trauma in Childrenâs Anglophone Literature and Cinema examines how contemporary English-language novels and films represent trauma in queer childhood and adolescence.

Drawing on Ann Cvetkovichâs concept of queer trauma, the book challenges pathologizing models that frame trauma as a private wound. Instead, it reveals its cultural, political, and intersectional production through family expectations, social pressures, bullying, discrimination, and the policing of gender and sexuality. Through close readings across twenty-first-century literature and cinema â" including widely taught works such as A Little Life and films like Just Charlie â" the study foregrounds quieter, cumulative harms that shape early queer life while tracing how suffering, survival, chosen ties, creative expression, and community-based healing intersect. It develops an accessible framework, âqueer trauma of early lives,â that enables readers to understand these narratives without reducing queer youth to clinical case studies.

Queer Trauma in Childrenâs Anglophone Literature and Cinema is ideal for undergraduate and graduate students, as well as researchers in gender studies, literary and cultural studies, film and media studies, and childhood studies.
