Description

"This book is a creative engagement with the central terms of reconciliation - forgiveness, nationhood, conflict-resolution, justice and memory - and with approaches to questions of listening and understanding the 'other'. It is premised on the view that an essential pathway to the achievement of reconciliation lies in developing and disseminating critical concepts that capture the nuances of practice." "Drawing on fields in the humanities and social sciences, including poststructuralism, hermeneutics, subaltern studies and social theory, and elaborated in relation to contemporary sites of conflict and peace-making, this collection includes a foreword by Archbishop Desmond Tutu and brings together a unique range of perspectives on the complex issue of reconciliation, while offering responses to the key questions being asked of it today."--book jacket.
