discusses the effects, models and implications of history teaching
in relation to conflict transformation and reconciliation from a
social-psychological perspective. Bringing together a mix of
established and young researchers and academics, from the fields of
psychology, education, and history, the book provides an in-depth
exploration of the role of historical narratives, history teaching,
history textbooks and the work of civil society organizations in
post-conflict societies undergoing reconciliation processes, and
reflects on the state of the art at both the international and
regional level. As well as dealing with the question of the
'perpetrator-victim' dynamic, the book also focuses on the
particular context of transition in and out of cold war in Eastern
Europe and the post-conflict settings of Northern Ireland, Israel
and Palestine and Cyprus. It is also exploring the pedagogical
classroom practices of history teaching and a critical comparison
of various possible approaches taken in educational praxis. The
book will make compelling reading for students and researchers of
education, history, sociology, peace and conflict studies and
psychology.
