Abstract:

Sixteen years after her father was killed by an IRA bomb, Jo Berry had her 
first conversation with the man responsible. She had made a long journey, 
"walking the footsteps of the bombers" as she put it, determined not to give 
in to anger and revenge but to try to understand his motivations and 
perspective. Her preparedness to meet Pat Magee opened up a path to 
empathy that developed through their conversations over the following years. 
This book studies their growing understandings of each other by focusing on 
the rich networks of metaphors that appear in their conversations, and how 
these evolve in the process of reconciliation. The innovative research 
method, reported in a rigorous but accessible style, together with the rich and 
often poignant data, make this book a valuable addition to the study of 
metaphor and discourse. In uncovering the development of empathy between 
these two extraordinary people, Cameron illuminates the moral necessity, and 
the potential rewards, in trying to imagine the world and mind of the Other. 
Implications are drawn for how mediators in reconciliation contexts might 
make positive use of metaphor in supporting the dynamics of empathy.
