Description
"This newly expanded and updated edition addresses the concept of a redemptive burying of the past. It advocates that the events of September 11, 2001 should be approached as a transnational model of conflict - and suggests that justice can be better understood if we will undertake the essential task of locating the sources of hostility, valid or not, toward the West." "Burying the Past asks these question: How do newly democratic nations put to rest the conflicts of the past? Is granting forgiveness a politically viable choice for those in power? Should justice be restorative or retributive? Beginning with a conceptual approach to justice and forgiveness and moving to an examination of reconciliation on the political and on the psychological level, the collection examines the quality of peace as it has been forged in the civil conflicts in Rwanda, South Africa, Chile, Guatemala, and Northern Ireland."--Jacket.
