About Book

Representations of Peace and Conflict, edited by Stephen Gibson and Simon Mollan, is a multidisciplinary collection that explores the socio-cultural and psychological representations of peace and conflict. The book ventures into areas of the humanities and social sciences not typically foregrounded in Peace Studies, such as psychology, sociology, media studies, cultural studies, history, and geography. It includes contributions that analyze topics ranging from British soldiers' photographic records and social identity in Northern Ireland to memory work and the South African Truth & Reconciliation Commission.

Final Verdict Representations of Peace and Conflict offers a comprehensive and nuanced exploration of how peace and conflict are represented across various domains. Its interdisciplinary approach makes it a valuable resource for scholars and practitioners in peace studies, social sciences, and humanities.
