Abstract title:

Collective memory and the process of reconciliation and reconstruction
(Paper from Symposium)

Author: Wiseman Chirwa
Issue: Vol. 7, Number 4 1997

This symposium, co-hosted by the Centre for the Study of Violence and Reconciliation (CSVR) and the South Africa Office of Oxfam, drew together individuals and organisations working in the areas of violence, conflict and peace-building. Here, the author considers alternative ways of creating collective memories, used by countries and communities without access to the formal state frameworks of truth commissions or war-crimes tribunals.

This article also appears in the Development in Practice Reader Development and Patronage.
