Abstract
<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>This book explores the legacy that the experience of war leaves on societies. It argues that the legacies of war originate in people’s minds, in their narratives of war, their views of the nation, and their visions for its future. To map these legacies, the study focuses on three populations currently living through war and conflict, Ukrainians, Syrians, and Palestinians. The three empirical sections of the book present survey data on, first, people’s accounts of conflict events and the parties involved; second, their feelings of national attachment to their countries; and third, their visions of a peaceful future. Together, these components constitute a war legacy, by coming to terms with war, processing collective emotions, and imagining the future, new political and social visions emerge that outline a possible horizon for peace.</jats:p>
