Overcoming Conflict : History Teaching-Peacebuilding-Reconciliation Hardback
Edited by Florian Helfer, Peter Geiss, Sandra Muller-Tietz, Michael Rohrschneider
Hardback
Description
Peacebuilding and reconciliation between groups and entire nations that share a violent past are among the toughest, yet most important, challenges for modern societies.
Opposing perspectives, disagreements about the interpretation of historical events or even entirely different narratives too often impede processes of rapprochement.
How can teaching history contribute to overcoming the demarcation lines of such narratives and resolving historical conflicts that are passed on from generation to generation or renewed, amplified and exploited for present political purposes?
This volume comprises twelve case studies—from Central and Eastern Europe to South Africa, from the Middle East to East Asia—exploring stories about successes and failures in the never-ending struggle for peaceful coexistence.
All of them ultimately reflect the fundamental question of our discipline: Can we learn from history?
