Conflict-history education, in particular, helps to replace fear and hatred with mutual understanding. While peace education has been explored across sub-Saharan Africa and beyond, curricular reforms often overlook teachers--despite their key role in achieving success.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuilding on insights from education sciences, sociology, political sciences, memory studies and social psychology, this book introduces a novel and interdisciplinary framework to analyse secondary school teachers' engagement with conflict-history education, using both qualitative and quantitative methods. It focuses on three distinct locations--Kenya, Côte d'Ivoire, and the Democratic Republic of Congo--that differ in the intensity of violence experienced and the time elapsed since conflict ended.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis practice-oriented book aims at identifying teachers' needs to feel confident and competent in driving reconciliation in their classrooms and provides actionable policy recommendations and teaching strategies to support them in this essential role.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith contributions from Louis-Gervais Adomon Anoma, Mary Kange'the.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Line Kuppens,Justin Sheria Nfundiko\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9462704724\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789462704725\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Leuven University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/15\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 220\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.74lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.50d","brand":"Line Kuppens","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47419662336255,"sku":"9789462704725","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3cb719a4-5850-470c-bfd6-b604d3023f6b.jpg?v=1761513034","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/teaching-about-the-violent-past-line-kuppens-9789462704725","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
