In North America, Africa, and across the globe, many societies are
deeply divided along racial, ethnic, political, or religious lines
as a result of violent/oppressive histories. Bridging such divides
requires symbolic action that transcends, reframes, redeems, and
repairs-often drawing upon resources of faith. Speaking to
Reconciliation showcases this tradition through speeches by Abraham
Lincoln, Martin Luther King Jr., Elie Wiesel, Desmond Tutu, Barack
Obama, Thich Nhat Hanh, Jordan's King Abdullah II, Ireland's
President Mary McAleese, and others. Some of these speeches set
forth principles or spiritual practices of reconciliation. Others
acknowledge injustice, make apologies for historical wrongs, call
for reparations, or commend the power of forgiveness. Speaking to
Reconciliation presents a conceptual framework for doing analysis
and critique of reconciliation discourse and applies this framework
in introductions to the speeches, offering readers a springboard
for further study and, potentially, inspiration to promote justice
and reconciliation in their own spheres.
