Silence lies between forgetting and remembering. This book explores
how different societies have constructed silences to enable men and
women to survive and make sense of the catastrophic consequences of
armed conflict. Using a range of disciplinary approaches, it
examines the silences that have followed violence in
twentieth-century Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. These essays
show that silence is a powerful language of remembrance and
commemoration and a cultural practice with its own rules. This
broad-ranging book discloses the universality of silence in the
ways we think about war through examples ranging from the Spanish
Civil War and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to the Armenian
Genocide and South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
Bringing together scholarship on varied practices in different
cultures, this book breaks new ground in the vast literature on
memory, and opens up new avenues of reflection and research on the
lingering aftermath of war.
