{"product_id":"shadows-of-war-efrat-ben-zeev-9780521196581","title":"Shadows of War: A Social History of Silence in the Twentieth Century","description":"Silence lies between forgetting and remembering. This book explores how different societies have constructed silences to enable men and women to survive and make sense of the catastrophic consequences of armed conflict. Using a range of disciplinary approaches, it examines the silences that have followed violence in twentieth-century Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. These essays show that silence is a powerful language of remembrance and commemoration and a cultural practice with its own rules. This broad-ranging book discloses the universality of silence in the ways we think about war through examples ranging from the Spanish Civil War and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to the Armenian Genocide and South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission. Bringing together scholarship on varied practices in different cultures, this book breaks new ground in the vast literature on memory, and opens up new avenues of reflection and research on the lingering aftermath of war.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Efrat Ben-Ze'ev\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521196582\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521196581\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/25\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 234\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.20w x 0.70d","brand":"Efrat Ben-Ze'ev","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43919993536767,"sku":"9780521196581","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_28977ed0-1da0-4265-bc13-ecf93b08ca82.jpg?v=1680813038","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/shadows-of-war-efrat-ben-zeev-9780521196581","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
