Virtues from Hell: Survivors of Conflicts and the Reconstruction-Reconciliation Processes[electronic resource] /by Fidèle Ingiyimbere. - 1st ed. 2022. - X, 161 p. 1 illus.online resource. - Philosophy and Politics - Critical Explorations,202352-8389 ;. - Philosophy and Politics - Critical Explorations,1.

Chapter 1. General Introduction -- Chapter 2. The Courage to Live -- Chapter 3. Necessity to Forget and the Duty to Remember -- Chapter 4. Silence and the Imperative to Tell -- Chapter 5. The Urge to Revenge and the Call to Forgive -- Chapter 6. The Promises and the Impossibility of Justice -- Chapter 7. General Conclusion.

This book offers a critical examination of certain ideas and values—such as remembering, forgiveness, story-telling through Truth and Reconciliation Commissions, etc.—that undergird the transitional practices and mechanisms of societies emerging from conflicts. It does so by making the survivors’ experience the supreme and ultimate judge of the legitimacy of such practices. While many scholars have dealt with these topics, this book provides a unique perspective on them by using personal stories, narratives and memoirs of the survivors as a checking point of the theoretical elaboration of these ideas and values. By means of an existential phenomenological analysis of the situation of survivors of gross human rights violations, the book assesses how many resources are still available to them, so that they can contribute to the processes of reconstruction and reconciliation of their societies. This analysis constitutes the background for reading the rest of the book, which challenges some assumptions and presumptions of transitional practices such as healing through truth-telling, or providing justice through reparations. It does so by presenting nuanced suggestions on the ways survivors can participate in the reconstruction-reconciliation processes, without jeopardizing their own well-being.
