Offers a narrative approach to post-conflict intervention, showing how legalism following mass violence encourages dangerous binaries.

Recenzje

'In this remarkable book, the authors help us see the high cost we are paying for oversimplifying conflict and post conflict narratives and highlight the unintended consequences of the binary frameworks we use when looking for justice. What does it take to be able to put the past go and heal from conflict trauma: The restoration of complexity. Read the book to find out how.' Donna Hicks, Associate at the Weatherhead Center for International Affairs, Harvard University
