| Summary: | The publication of a new volume by the Tauber Institute for the Study of European Jewry is an occasion of scholarly anticipation. The latest book in the series is no exception. Cadaverland: Inventing a Pathology of Catastrophe for Holocaust Survival focuses on the nature, scope, and implications of the treatment of Holocaust survivors in post-World War II France. Professor Michael Dorland of the School of Journalism and Communication at Carleton University in Ottawa is neither a historian nor a clinician, but is rather a journalist, film critic, and novelist. Yet, through his diverse experience he has acquired an exceptional depth of knowledge and insight. |
