Summary: "An enquiry into the social science of remembrance and forgiveness in global episodes of genocide and mass violence during the post-Holocaust era, this volume explores the ways in which these have changed over time and how remembrance and forgiveness have been used in more recent cases of genocide and mass violence. With case studies from Rwanda, Ethiopia, South Sudan, South Africa, Australia, Cambodia, Indonesia, Timor-Leste, Israel, Palestine, Argentina, Guatemala, El Salvador, the United States, Bosnia-Herzegovina, and Chechnya, the volume avoids a purely legal perspective to open up the interpretation of post-genocidal societies, communities, and individuals to international and interdisciplinary perspectives that consider not only forgiveness and thus social harmony, but remembrance and disharmony. As such, it will appeal to scholars across the social sciences with interests in memory studies, genocide, remembrance, and forgiveness"-- Provided by publisher
