Recenzii
The volume helpfully highlights the need to move beyond conventional framings of peace that are confined to the classroom, and instead to consider localized and contextualized approaches that address questions of social justice . This book will be of interest to agencies that design education intervention programs, often in collaboration with government institutions; NGOs involved in the education sector; curriculum designers and teachers of history and civics; and, finally, researchers who are rethinking what peace education entails.
A valuable contribution to the field, charting voyages into peace education on a global scale and drawing rich, locally contextualised maps of the possibilities and tensions therein. The diversity of the contexts examined and the combination of academic critique with practical guidance will make it useful for a wide range of audiences, from university professors, peace researchers and students to classroom teachers and policymakers.
This collection of essays and qualitative case studies provides an excellent introduction to the field of peace education in general and the idea and practice of critical peace education in particular. It offers the reader an international, comparative and grounded insight into the foundational questions of peace education as it is conceptualized and implemented in diverse contexts around the world, especially within conflict and post-conflict societies. It is one of the finest volumes on critical peace education available. It will be ideal for general and introductory courses in peace education. The book deserves a wide readership.
Today, when profound conflicts continue to spread globally, no book could be more timely than this important new title about peace education and the latest developments in theory and practice. In each of the richly nuanced and localized studies, Hantzopoulos, Bajaj and colleagues showcase the potential to transform individual and collective lives when peace education, in all its variations, centers a critical and justice orientation to teaching and learning. With this book we are presented with indispensable conceptual and pedagogical tools, and for a better tomorrow we are called upon to act.
This well written book gives us a view of attempts to enliven peace education all over the world. It will be of particular interest to those concerned with the contributions of critical theory to peacemaking.
The theoretical and practice-oriented essays constitute a much need guidebook for those of us wanting more understanding, trying to "connect the dots" of seemingly unconnected particulars, and engaging in one kind of "peace work" or another. Peace Education: International Perspectives is impactful, comforting and inspiring, and much needed for the times!
Peace Education: International Perspectives offers a thought-provoking and nuanced alternative to the often-oversimplified macro-institutional approaches to peace education. Editors of and contributors to the volume ask us to imagine human(ist) potentialities for the possibility of sustainable peace. With piquant analysis of contemporary issues in the field they also urge us to interrogate the entrenched Eurocentric normative frameworks in order to grapple with complex questions related to the intertwined dynamics of violence and peace at micro as well as macro levels. Coupling theoretical visions with practical insights, this volume will be a vital resource for students and teachers of peace education.
