Description

Africa has seen many political crises ranging from violent political ideologies, to meticulous articulated racist governance system, to ethnic clashes resulting in genocide and religious conflicts that have planted the seed of mutual suspicion.The masses impacted by such crises live with the past that has not passed.

The Healing of Memories: African Christian Responses to Politically Induced Trauma examines Christian responses to the damaging impact of conflict on the collective memory.

Troubled memory is a recipe for another cycle of conflict.

While most academic works tend to stress forgiving and forgetting, they did not offer much as to how to deal with the unforgettable past.

This book aims to fill this gap by charting an interdisciplinary approach to healing the corrosive memories of painful pasts.

Taking a cue from the empirical expositions of post-apartheid South Africa, post-genocide Rwanda, the Congo Wars, and post-Red Terror Ethiopia, this volume brings together coherent healing approaches to deal with traumatic memory.
