Peacebuilding and reconciliation between groups and entire nations
that share a violent past are among the toughest, yet most
important, challenges for modern societies. Opposing perspectives,
disagreements about the interpretation of historical events or even
entirely different narratives too often impede processes of
rapprochement. How can teaching history contribute to overcoming
the demarcation lines of such narratives and resolving historical
conflicts that are passed on from generation to generation or
renewed, amplified and exploited for present political purposes?
This volume comprises twelve case studies—from Central and
Eastern Europe to South Africa, from the Middle East to East
Asia—exploring stories about successes and failures in the
never-ending struggle for peaceful coexistence. All of them
ultimately reflect the fundamental question of our discipline: Can
we learn from history?
