Victimization narratives arise out of the experience of historical
and ongoing injury, and often intersect or, in part, constitute
identity narratives. Unless transformed through reconciliation,
these narratives can be used by political leaders to mobilize and
perpetuate violence. Victimization narratives are grounded in lived
experiences, whether by contemporary generations or passed on from
one generation to another as a historical narrative about the prior
experience of victimization. Therefore, cycles of violence cannot
be ended sustainably unless those narratives are transformed; and
first, narratives of victimization and cycles of violence must be
disrupted. This is the work of many peace activists in Israel and
Palestine whose relationships are built on empathic engagement.
This book reviews theories of empathy across a broad range of
scholarly work. It then applies a framework of political psychology
to understand the role of empathy in the accounts of peace
activists whose identities as victims were transformed by their
empathic engagement. It includes a chapter providing historical
background, and concludes with a consideration of alternative
futures for the Israeli and Palestinian people and communities.
