This work examines trauma, identity, security, education, and
development as issues of critical importance to peacebuilding and
social reconstruction after large-scale violence. This violence
takes the form of war, mass-killings, and genocide, as well as
structural violence that has humiliated and impoverished millions
of people across the globe. Transitional justice, leadership,
religion, and the arts are other crucial issues that are included
in this analysis of violence and its transformation. The book
explores how each issue can be independently addressed for
transformational purposes, but argues for their active
interdepdendence in order to more effectively help individuals,
communities, and societies emerge from violence and begin the
rebuilding process. Peacebuilding for Traumatized Societies
examines these issues in theoretical and practical terms through
case studies and descriptions of training and problem-solving
procedures in Rwanda, the Balkans, Colombia, and the Philippines.
