 Sunday Lecture – Recovering History in Central America

Restorative justice has been widely used around the world as an essential element in peace processes such as that of South Africa. But before a process of reconciliation can be undertaken it is first necessary to establish truth about the past. Mike Phipps recounts the history of violence in Central America and reflects on the distinct political geographical and historical causes of conflict in the region. Looking at the attempts to bring to justice to those responsible for violence – governmental corporate and external – the talk examines the effects of US policy in the region over several decades and asks whether any fundamental changes might be forthcoming that will help overcome the legacy of violence that haunts the region. 11.00 £3 on the door/free to members
