Book Hero Magic created this recommendation. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! IS THIS YOUR NEXT READ?
Ideal for students and professionals in law, political science, peace and conflict studies, and for readers seeking deeper understanding of justice and reconciliation processes.
Represents a blend of political and legal theory, one that focuses on the double-edged role of memory in fueling cycles of hatred and maintaining justice and personal integrity. This work features topics that include hate crimes and hate-crimes legislation, child sexual abuse and the statute of limitations, and more.
Minow's essays embody great strength, clarity, and coherence. She manages to move far beyond her own earlier pathbreaking work. What makes this volume unique is the fascinatingly wide variety of connections and insights triggered by Minow's first-rate contribution. The book surely will be of great interest to general readers as well as to specialists in diverse fields such as law, political science, feminist studies, international affairs, and cultural studies. The multidisciplinary inquiry about cutting-edge human rights issues adds depth to the marvelously lucid analysis provided in Minow's essays. From a broad range of perspectives, the various authors actually enact some of Minow's powerful points in the very process of their exploration of previously undeveloped linkages. -- Aviam Soifer, Boston College Law School This book is an excellent contribution to a newly emerging and potentially very valuable way of thinking about hatred and violence. -- Susan Okin, Department of Political Science, Stanford University

In this study, Martha Minow and others ask: what explains these cycles and what can break them? What lessons can we draw from one form of violence that might be relevant to others? Can legal responses to violence provide accountability but avoid escalating vengeance? If so, what kinds of legal institutions and practices can make a difference? What kinds risk failure?
Breaking the Cycles of Hatred represents a blend of political and legal theory, one that focuses on the double-edged role of memory in fuelling cycles of hatred and maintaining justice and personal integrity. Its centerpiece comprises three penetrating essays by Minow. She argues that innovative legal institutions and practices, such as truth commissions and civil damage actions against groups that sponsor hate, often work better than more conventional criminal proceedings and sanctions.
Minow also calls for more sustained attention to the underl...
