“This sparkling collection of essays explores the pressing question of how societies emerging from conflict can deal with the haunting legacies of the past in such a way as to prevent recurrence and lay the ground for a just and lasting peace through a dazzling array of case studies from around the world. Resolutely international as well as interdisciplinary in its scope and ambition, Post-Conflict Hauntings can be seen to respond to recent calls for memory and trauma studies to become more diverse, pluralistic, culturally sensitive, and future-oriented. It models precisely the kind of scholarship needed to understand the spectral presence of the past in an increasingly globalized and troubled world. Anyone interested in issues of memory, trauma, and justice in post-conflict settings will find this book an invaluable resource” (Professor Stef Craps, Director of the Cultural Memory Studies Initiative at Ghent University, Belgium)
“The editors of Post-Conflict Hauntings: Transforming Memories of Historical Trauma, have created and compiled an indispensable aggregate of master narratives that scholars, public policy analysts, clinicians and artists, among others, will forever treasure. The authors provide us with myriad epistemic conversations and manifestations of psychologically-charged “post” external world trauma outside the Jewish Holocaust. They succinctly and successfully challenge us to come to grips with historical precepts, new texts and new contexts so that when we are able to recontextualize our histories, we may be able to have hope in the face of irreparable large-scale and as yet unmetabolized injury” (Professor Maurice Apprey, Dean of African American Affairs, University of Virginia, USA)
