Beskrivning
In an age where official and sponsored violence are becoming normalised and conceived of as legitimate tools of peace keeping, a number of leading academics and activists represented in Pedagogy, Politics and Philosophy of Peace interrogate and resist the intensification of the militarisation of civil life and of international relations. Coming from different areas of study, the contributors to this volume discuss peace and critical peace education from a range of perspectives. The nature of peace, myths related to peace, the logistics of peace and peacemaking as well as the relation of peace and pedagogy in the broadest meaning of the term constitute the main themes of the book. The common thread that binds the chapters together is the distinction between genuine/authentic and false peace and the importance of critical reflection on actions that contribute to genuine peace.

Recensioner i media

In a time when we are massively exposed to the premeditated devaluation and destruction of life in especially extra-western locations, Borg and Grech, along with their contributors, achieve a critical scholarly intervention that refuses to rescind the hope for genuine peace that should be rightfully accorded to all. As such, this book represents a uniquely original disquisition that should shift the way we think about peace and international relations; its arguments should persuade us to once again believe in the possibilities of viable and re-humanizing citizenships that affirm and improve the lives of people across the world.
