Addressing Trauma, and Promoting Healing and Peacebuilding in Post-Conflict Societies

Reviews the book, Healing and Peacebuilding after War: Transforming Trauma in Bosnia and Herzegovina edited by Julianne Funk, Nancy Good, and Marie E. Berry (2023). The book effectively meets its goal of examining the role of trauma when engaging in peacebuilding in postconflict contexts including a discussion of strategies to confront trauma. It provides insights applicable to the context of Bosnia and Herzegovina and other postwar settings. This book serves as a valuable resource, presenting peace and conflict professionals with a nuanced understanding of the issues they may confront including the dynamics of ethno-nationalism, gender-based violence, and the influence of education on postwar narratives.
