Check out Aaron Weah's 'Declining ethnic relations in post-war Liberia: The transmission of violent memories' (2019) International Review of the Red Cross 1-21.
More than ten years after the Liberia Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) released its Final Report, there has been no implementation of the recommendations proffered.
This article focuses on post-conflict memorialization, the TRC's strategy to engender collective remembering, and a set of State-led actions designed to teach future generations about the past violence with a view to preventing relapse into violent conflict. Both the constructive and destructive patterns of remembering that have evolved in the wake of the government's silence since the release of the recommendations will be analyzed.
Aaron will be joining Ulster as a PhD researcher in early 2020.
