Rasha Diab is assistant professor of rhetoric and writing and affiliate in the departments of English and Middle Eastern Studies at the University of Texas at Austin.
"A rich, important, and fascinating study. Troubling programmatic
accounts of conflict resolution and challenging traditional
approaches to the study of Arab and Arab-Islamic discourse, Diab
offers a groundbreaking investigation into the initiation,
performance, and stakes of sulh. She sheds crucial light on the
deep and complex relationship between peacemaking, transitional
justice, and reconciliation. Her work deserves close consideration
by scholars of rhetoric, politics, Islamic studies, law,
anthropology, and human rights."
--Erik Doxtader, University of South Carolina and Institute for
Justice and Reconciliation
"Rasha Diab undertakes a major comparative project, one that
travels through centuries and across cultures to engage questions
of violence and peace, justice and reconciliation, and the ways in
which communities maintain shared values. In doing so, she
judiciously undertakes the construction of significant, new
rhetorical relationships."
--Arabella Lyon, Rhetoric & Public Affairs
"This in-depth examination of sulh rhetoric is much needed and
makes an essential contribution to the study of sulhas an
indigenous and homegrown peacemaking tool. Rooted in Arab and
Islamic cultural and religious sources, sulh indeed can be seen as
'the gift of possibility' for many of our current challenges in
responding to conflicts."
--Mohammed Abu-Nimer, American University, International Peace and
Conflict Resolution
