This chapter addresses how remote exposure to trauma (RET) disproportionately affects populations already at risk, such as trauma survivors, racial minorities, and those with limited access to resources. It outlines the intersectionality of RET, showing how psychological proximity, historical injustice, and systemic marginalization compound its effects. Drawing from case studies and interdisciplinary literature, the chapter highlights specific vulnerabilities in groups exposed to racialized violence, environmental degradation, or state oppression from afar. It also explores how cultural memory and collective trauma heighten susceptibility to RET symptoms in diaspora and refugee communities. Emphasis is placed on the “web of trauma” that operates across geographical and temporal boundaries. The chapter concludes by recommending culturally sensitive frameworks to recognize and respond to the amplified psychological risks in these groups.

摘要

This chapter addresses how remote exposure to trauma (RET) disproportionately affects populations already at risk, such as trauma survivors, racial minorities, and those with limited access to resources. It outlines the intersectionality of RET, showing how psychological proximity, historical injustice, and systemic marginalization compound its effects. Drawing from case studies and interdisciplinary literature, the chapter highlights specific vulnerabilities in groups exposed to racialized violence, environmental degradation, or state oppression from afar. It also explores how cultural memory and collective trauma heighten susceptibility to RET symptoms in diaspora and refugee communities. Emphasis is placed on the “web of trauma” that operates across geographical and temporal boundaries. The chapter concludes by recommending culturally sensitive frameworks to recognize and respond to the amplified psychological risks in these groups.
