Recenzje

Peace is as indispensable as it is elusive, yet as this critically important new book demonstrates, everyday peace can be found in the unlikeliest of places, from the living room to the global battlefield. Combining conceptual sophistication with a keen and sensitive eye for peace practices wherever they may be, Mac Ginty shows how the supposedly ordinary can do the extraordinary by disrupting conflict and creating new and pragmatic possibilities for peace. Setting a compelling new way of seeing and understanding one of the oldest of problems, this book is an essential read for anyone interested in how peace can be built out of war, one that challenges us to rethink old canons and embrace new possibilities.
