The Eyes of the Other
Restorative Encounters between Former ETA Members and Their Victims
Series: - Studies in Restorative Justice, Volume: 07
Volume Editor:
This book chronicles the overwhelmingly powerful, human, and transformative experience that restorative encounters among victims and perpetrators embody from the perspective of facilitators, a victim, and a perpetrator. It describes and reflects on the methodology and outcome of the encounters between people who had suffered terrorist violence -either as direct surviving victims, or as relatives of the murdered- and the people convicted of these very serious crimes, during 2011 and 2012. Some of these encounters are approached in the prizewinning movie “Maixabel” by Iciar Bollaín. They have set an important but humble opportunity for peace building in the Basque Country.
Esther Pascual, Ph.D. (2012), University Complutense de Madrid, is Professor in Criminology at Francisco de Vitoria University. She has promoted pioneering restorative programmes in Spain and participated in the first restorative meetings among victims and former members of ETA. She is the author of several publications and a trainer of mediators.
This book will be attractive for academics and students, but also practitioners and public interested in Restorative Justice, victim offender mediation and in the aftermaths of terrorist violence in the Basque Country.
