Pathways to Reconciliation: Between Thoery and Practice

'Pathways to Reconciliation: Between Theory and Practice', is a creative engagement with the central terms of reconciliation - forgiveness, nationhood, conflict resolution, justice and memory - and with approaches to questions of listening and understanding the 'other'. It is premised on the view that an essential pathway to the achievement of reconciliation lies in developing and disseminating critical concepts that capture the nuances of practice.
