Reconciliation

Journey Towards Healing and Reconstruction for Socio-Communal Violence Survivors

ABSTRACT

Reconciliation is about a future aspiration, something important, perhaps even an ideal state to hope for. It is a sustained process voluntarily undertaken at both individual and collective levels. In the process life grows – both ‘one person at a time’ and collectively. In this article, the authors explore the phenomenon and process of collective social reconciliation after prolonged conflict, hate campaigns, oppression and targeted violence, usually affecting large populations.
