Informationen zum Autor Edited by Elizabeth A. Cole - Contributions by Julian Dierkes; Takashi Yoshida; Penney Clark; Alison Kitson; Rafael Valls; Elizabeth Oglesby; Thomas Sherlock; Roland Bleiker; Young-ju Hoang; Jon Dorschner and Audrey Chapman Klappentext During an armed conflict or period of gross human rights violations, the first priority is a cessation of violence. For the cease-fire to be more than a lull in hostilities and atrocities, however, it must be accompanied by a plan for political transition and social reconstruction. Essential to this long-term reconciliation process is education reform that teaches future generations information repressed under dictatorial regimes and offers new representations of former enemies. In Teaching the Violent Past, Cole has gathered nine case studies exploring the use of history education to promote tolerance, inclusiveness, and critical thinking in nations around the world.
