Africa has seen many political crises ranging from violent
political ideologies, to meticulous articulated racist governance
system, to ethnic clashes resulting in genocide and religious
conflicts that have planted the seed of mutual suspicion.The masses
impacted by such crises live with the past that has not passed. The
Healing of Memories: African Christian Responses to Politically
Induced Trauma examines Christian responses to the damaging impact
of conflict on the collective memory. Troubled memory is a recipe
for another cycle of conflict. While most academic works tend to
stress forgiving and forgetting, they did not offer much as to how
to deal with the unforgettable past. This book aims to fill this
gap by charting an interdisciplinary approach to healing the
corrosive memories of painful pasts. Taking a cue from the
empirical expositions of post-apartheid South Africa, post-genocide
Rwanda, the Congo Wars, and post-Red Terror Ethiopia, this volume
brings together coherent healing approaches to deal with traumatic
memory.
