| Summary |
"Drawing on research in a diverse set of countries, including Bosnia Herzegovina, Jordan, Northern Ireland, Peru, South Africa, Rwanda and the USA, the contributors consider the role of education in reconciling societies, groups and individuals divided by conflict. These case studies expand conceptual and empirical understandings of the understudied relationship between education and reconciliation. They uncover the potential and the limitations of education for addressing and repairing the divisions of conflict. The case studies offer examples of the ways in which education can contribute towards reconciliation if and when it is able to contribute towards challenging and transforming inequalities at the root of conflict."--Back cover |
