About this Book:
Communities around the world that have suffered the trauma of unspeakable violence are struggling to recover and reconcile, searching for ways not only to survive but to heal. In When Blood and Bones Cry Out, John Paul Lederach, a pioneer of peacebuilding, and his daughter, Angela Jill Lederach, show how communities can recover and reconnect through the power of making music, creating metaphors, and telling their extraordinary stories of suffering and survival. The Lederachs explore the circular process of healing and the concept of “social healing,” which focuses on giving voice to those who suffered protracted violence to speak their experience, as a profoundly important intermediary step between active violence and reconciliation.
