Conflicts are inherent to human society, but most of them do not concern people directly as participants or eyewitnesses. How people see social conflicts depends on how they are presented to them. This volume gathers together writings by contemporary specialists in different fields, from different backgrounds, cultures and locations, but united by a common thread: the conviction that history and current affairs are constructed and presented, not according to the facts themselves, but according to media, culture, politics, gender, religion and other factors.
