{"product_id":"shallow-graves-richard-reid-9781787383289","title":"Shallow Graves: A Memoir of the Ethiopia-Eritrea War","description":"This is a personal account of the war between Eritrea and Ethiopia, fought between May 1998 and June 2000, as well as of the periods immediately preceding and following the conflict. \u003cem\u003eShallow Graves\u003c\/em\u003e traces shifting local perceptions of time, the nation and the region, beginning in the mid-1990s and concluding with the peace agreement signed between the two governments in 2018. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRichard Reid is a historian who was based in Eritrea during the war, and who continued to visit both that country and Ethiopia for several years afterwards. This personal perspective offers a more vivid, intimate portrait of the experience of the war than can normally be offered by putatively \"objective\" academic accounts. As well as providing first-hand reportage and analysis, Reid problematises the role of the historian--and specifically the foreign historian--as the supposedly impartial observer of events. His eloquent narrative, constructed around conversations and interactions with a range of local witnesses, friends and colleagues, explores the impact of prolonged war and its aftermath--both on private and public memory, and on the nature of history itself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Reid\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1787383288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781787383289\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hurst \u0026amp; Co.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.80h x 5.00w x 1.00d","brand":"Richard Reid","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43983122989311,"sku":"9781787383289","price":31.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0670b619-fac7-4f55-97ab-90c107090748.jpg?v=1683264800","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/shallow-graves-richard-reid-9781787383289","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
