"This collection offers a sustained and compelling analysis of the centrality of ‘recognition’ to processes of reconciliation and social repair in the wake of conflict. Exploring from different disciplinary perspectives the potential for ‘recognition’ in particular times and places, the book argues that rather than wait for political settlements from above – critical as these are – everyone must strive in their everyday practice to ‘recognise’ the Other and, in so doing, realise their own dignity. A bold dream, perhaps, but one never more needed than at present."
Hastings Donnan, Queen’s University Belfast

"If you believe, like most Israeli Jews, that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict will be settled by negotiations between leaders to achieve a minimal political-territorial settlement that lets Israel disengage from the Palestinians and the Arab region and fully join the West, you will and should face the challenge of the book Recognition as Key for Reconciliation."
Prof. Sammy Smooha, University of Haifa

“This book clearly adds a substantive contribution to our understanding of conflict resolution, adds to the literature on peace studies, and is a recognition of the importance of social psychology to international relations.”
