Some grim reading,
By
This review is from: Healing Communities in Conflict (Hardcover)
Maynard gives a thoughtful explanation of how international relief efforts can help to heal regions torn apart by bloody conflict. She describes the worst such in recent times, Rwanda, where genocide truly was a literal label. But also studied are Yugoslavia, Somalia and Congo, though the latter is referred to by Mobutu's name, Zaire. Perhaps it is a measure of the depth of bloodshed that Northern Ireland does not even make the cut. Correctly, for it was a walk in the park compared to the other regions. Even Israel/Palestine rates only cursory mention.She talks about how external aid and sometimes peacekeepers are used to delicately stitch back areas into functioning communities. Not a very upbeat book, by its very nature. |
