About the Book
This is the first volume to examine current memory research in both the natural and social sciences for analysts of conflict and conflict resolution processes.
In the last decade, memory has become an increasingly popular topic in many areas of the social sciences and humanities, providing a focus for interdisciplinary study and enriching research on subjects like identity, subjectivity, trauma and the politics of culture. In this new book, Rhys Kelly:
- provides an accessible introduction to key concepts and debates in memory studies
- makes explicit the relevance of memory research for the field of conflict resolution
- uses case-studies to explain issues in a more vivid and grounded way.
Memory and Conflict Resolution will appeal to students of conflict resolution, peace studies, transitional justice and human security.
