Forgiving and Remembering in Northern Ireland: Approaches to Conflict Resolution

Abstract

This book is an attempt to develop further some of the above points and build discussion of forgiving and remembering from initial proposals outlined in the CGP Report of 2009. As a starting point for debate about such areas, the Report represents a moment of opportunity which is too important to ignore, but which requires elaboration if the recommendations are to have wider social purchase and not fade from public view. How and why forgiving and remem-bering are important (however conceived) and what value public engagement may bring to each is the purpose of this book.
