Abstract
ABSTRACT While official conflict stories often feed the justifications for violence, new stories, rooted in the realities of the people who have experienced the chaos of violence, might provide a path to peace. In this review essay, I briefly explore examples of recent research that have valued a narrative approach both as an empirical strategy and a normative framework. I also point to some useful interactions with other bodies of theoretical and empirical work.
