{"product_id":"speaking-to-reconciliation","title":"Speaking to Reconciliation","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn North America, Africa, and across the globe, many societies are deeply divided along racial, ethnic, political, or religious lines as a result of violent\/oppressive histories. Bridging such divides requires symbolic action that transcends, reframes, redeems, and repairs—often drawing upon resources of faith. \u003ci\u003eSpeaking to Reconciliation\u003c\/i\u003e showcases this tradition through speeches by Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King Jr., Elie Wiesel, Desmond Tutu, Barack Obama, Thich Nhat Hanh, Jordan’s King Abdullah II, Ireland’s President Mary McAleese, and others. Some of these speeches set forth principles or spiritual practices of reconciliation. Others acknowledge injustice, make apologies for historical wrongs, call for reparations, or commend the power of forgiveness. \u003ci\u003eSpeaking to Reconciliation\u003c\/i\u003e presents a conceptual framework for doing analysis and critique of reconciliation discourse and applies this framework in introductions to the speeches, offering readers a springboard for further study and, potentially, inspiration to promote justice and reconciliation in their own spheres.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peter Lang Publishing Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54223711633752,"sku":"9781433162329","price":97.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781433162329.jpg?v=1777086947","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/speaking-to-reconciliation","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
