Biography
Birgit Bräuchler is assistant professor of social and cultural anthropology at the University of Frankfurt.
"Reconciling Indonesia: Grassroots agency for peace is a welcome contribution to both the Indonesian studies literature and the literature on reconciliation and peacebuilding. In recent times peacebuilding theorists have called for research that provides a deeper understanding of local practices to counterbalance the dominance of the liberal approach to international peacebuilding and reconciliation efforts. This book responds to that challenge by providing well-considered insights into the local practices of reconciliation and conflict resolution in a wide range of cases in Indonesia." - Pacific Affairs: Volume 84, No. 1 – March 2011
