In order to provide context for the nuances surrounding the symbols, there are brief historical overviews for each conflict featured in the volume. In each chapter, three issues are emphasized: the particular symbols that are divisive in the specific culture; how these symbols were used to perpetuate conflict; and how these symbols can be used or modified to bring unification. Contributions come from authors from around the world that have conducted empirical studies on intergroup relationships or have provided significant academic contributions in the area of symbols and collective memories represented in theoretical publications.  Taken together, the contents of the volume provide a rich tapestry of intellectual analyses to the diverse selection of conflict settings from around the globe.  In addition to the nine case studies, there is an introductory chapter, which grounds the discussion in current peace psychology literature as well as provides future directions. This volume is a valuable resource to many, as the focus on symbols can span many disciplines such as political science, anthropology, sociology, psychology, and art.  Furthermore, it is of significant interest to all scholars and peace activists studying these various countries and their conflicts. 410 0$aPeace Psychology Book Series,$x2197-5779 606 $aPersonality 606 $aSocial psychology 606 $aCross-cultural psychology 606 $aPersonality and Social Psychology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y20050 606 $aCross Cultural Psychology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y20100 615 0$aPersonality. 615 0$aSocial psychology. 615 0$aCross-cultural psychology. 615 14$aPersonality and Social Psychology. 615 24$aCross Cultural Psychology. 676 $a302.2 702 $aMoeschberger$b Scott L$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aPhillips DeZalia$b Rebekah A$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298082503321 996 $aSymbols that Bind, Symbols that Divide$91922927 997 $aUNINA
