Recenzje

Kriesberg's tour de force takes readers through an ambitious systemic analysis of over one hundred years of political power struggles based on class, race, and gender. Fighting Better asks us to 'reflect backward in order to look forward' into how a longstanding tradition of constructive conflict transformation might carry us into a more peaceful state of affairs...For scholars and students questioning what has happened in the US to place us in this present state of division, this book is both timely and urgent.
