Violent conflict created a divide in Cyprus (1950-1974) that still exists to this day between Turkish and Greek Cypriots. This study explores specifically an effect of violent conflict—Missing Persons and the bi-communal process of their humanitarian return. This process is important for peacebuilding because it empowers individuals, families, communities, and nation-states to satisfy basic human psycho-social needs in order to deal with the trauma of past violence, to recognize loss and grieve, and to seek closure of uncertainty to prevent the transgenerational transmission of trauma and escalation of violence between and within ethnic societies.

Industry Reviews
Following decades of political manipulations on the issue of Missing Persons in the Cyprus conflict, this revealing work focuses on the constructive and cooperative process of exhumations and identifications carried out by a bicommunal, nongovernmental committee of dedicated Greek and Turkish Cypriots. The writing is accessible and engaging for the most part, supported by personal journal entries chronicling the author’s experience in completing this challenging piece of field research, including serving as a volunteer worker for the committee. The findings from qualitative interviews with members of the committee are connected to relevant scholarly literature on the need for certainty, bicommunal relations, and storytelling in order to develop a richer meaning of the process of exhumation and its effects. The work thus illuminates how the recovery of missing loved ones provides a model of positive intercommunal interaction, and serves as an essential element of reconciliation and sustainable peace that is empowering at both the individual and the collective levels
