Series: Bristol Studies in Comparative and International Education

Bringing concepts from critical transitional justice and peacebuilding into dialogue with education, this book examines the challenges youth and their teachers face in the post-conflict settings of Bougainville and Solomon Islands.

The youth in these areas are confronted with reconciling with the violent past of their parents' generation while also learning how to live with members of opposing 'sides'. This book traces how students and their teachers form connections to the past and each other that cut through the forces that might divide them. The findings illustrate the vital importance of education in post-conflict recovery.
