note = {How did civil society function as a locus for reconciliation
initiatives since the beginning of the 20th century? The essays in
this volume challenge the conventional understanding of reconciliation
as a benign state-driven process. They explore how a range of civil
society actors – from Turkish intellectuals apologizing for the
Armenian Genocide to religious organizations working towards the
improvement of Franco-German relations – have confronted and coped
with the past. These studies offer a critical perspective on local and
transnational reconciliation acts by questioning the extent to which
speech became an alternative to silence, remembrance to forgetting,
engagement to oblivion.},
