Review Quotes: 'The strength of this collection of papers extends its importance far beyond educational research circles. Paulson and colleagues lays out a cogent case that reconciliation is built on much ambiguity and many assumptions that ultimately come to hamper, even exacerbate, smouldering conflict situations around the World. It is rare to find insight from educational research that so powerfully resonates in so many other conflict-related arena.' Jeremy Rappleye, Reader in Comparative Education, University of Tokyo, Japan
