Rejecting the concept of PTSD, Matthies-Boon develops an alternate theory of trauma using the Egyptian revolution as a case. The testimonies of Cairene activists explain how multileveled traumatic status subordination inflicted on them destroyed the potentiality of revolutionary collective becoming, resulting in demoralized, depoliticized silence.
