The essays in this volume challenge the conventional understanding of reconciliation as a benign state-driven process. They explore how a range of civil society actors - from Turkish intellectuals apologizing for the Armenian Genocide to religious organizations working towards the improvement of Franco-German relations - have confronted and coped with the past. These studies offer a critical perspective on local and transnational reconciliation acts by questioning the extent to which speech became an alternative to silence, remembrance to forgetting, engagement to oblivion.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Transcript Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47999697780887,"sku":"9783837619317","price":3604.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783837619317.webp?v=1783601461","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/reconciliation-civil-society-and-the-politics-of-memory-transnational-initiatives-in-the-20th-and-21st-century-9783837619317","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
