Beskrivning

After periods of conflict and authoritarianism, educational institutions often need to be reformed or rebuilt. But in settings where education has been used to support repressive policies and human rights violations, or where conflict and abuses have resulted in lost educational opportunities, legacies of injustice may pose significant challenges to effective reform. Peacebuilding and development perspectives, which normally drive the reconstruction agenda, pay little attention to the violent past. Transitional Justice and Education: Learning Peace presents the findings of a research project of the International Center for Transitional Justice on the relationship between transitional justice and education in peacebuilding contexts. The book examines how transitional justice can shape the reform of education systems by ensuring programs are sensitive to the legacies of the past, how it can facilitate the reintegration of children and youth into society, and how education can engage younger generations in the work of transitional justice.

This edited volume provides a rich set of case studies from some of the world's most intractable conflicts and makes an important contribution to the literature on education, conflict, and peacebuilding. It provides practical examples of the ways that education can contribute to transitional justice-through reparations and by addressing educational inequalities, by engaging children and young people in nonformal education, and, the most difficult challenge of all, by helping successive generations learn about the violent conflicts that have affected their own societies. Essential reading for education and development practitioners. -- Alan Smith, Alan Smith, UNESCO Chair in Pluralism, Human Rights and Democracy, Ulster University A crucial addition to work on cultural rights, truth, justice, reconciliation, and nonrecurrence, this collection illustrates the vitality of ensuring multivoice narratives, as stressed in my UN special rapporteur reports on history teaching and memorialization processes. Case studies exploring how education policies can mitigate past injustices or set the pattern for further injustices provide invaluable new insights. -- Farida Shaheed, executive director, Shirkat Gah-Women's Resource Centre, Pakistan, and former UN special rapporteur in the field of cultural rights Transitional justice processes seek to promote social healing in the aftermath of armed violence and authoritarian repression. Transitional Justice and Education: Learning Peace shows the decisive role that schools can play in that healing process through the transformation of our values and our moral imagination. This book presents a deep understanding of the connection between education and peace and provides a rich variety of examples that will undoubtedly strengthen our capacity to build peace upon truth, memory, and justice. -- Salomon Lerner Febres, executive president, Institute for Democracy and Human Rights, Pontifical Catholic University of Peru, and former president of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Peru
