It traces the intricate pathways of local dialogue initiatives in three of the world's most emotionally charged conflicts: Colombia, Israel-Palestine, and Northern Ireland. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThere, the past is always contested terrain--it is present, alive and deeply political. The book draws on agonistic peace theory, which proposes continued contestation, discussion and disagreement - in non-violent, constructive forms - as the most productive way to transform violent conflicts. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFocusing on how local organisations can work to facilitate dialogue about conflict memory, the analyses rely on interview-based case studies where organisations working on bringing people together to juxtapose their memories of these conflicts are probed. The results underline that safeguarding dialogue spaces, stimulating counter-hegemonic forces and the circulation of memory between memoryscapes at different scales are crucial enabling factors for successful agonistic memory work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lisa Strömbom\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1399545787\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781399545785\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/31\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.99lbs","brand":"Lisa Strömbom","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48446976852223,"sku":"9781399545785","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ec7debd0-afa3-445e-89f9-d1f60eb48cb8.jpg?v=1777227998","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/agonistic-memory-and-peace-lisa-strzimbom-9781399545785","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
