Reflections of Eminent Educators, From Personal to Political
Louise Reader
Read on Louise Reader App.
This book fulfills a long-standing gap in the global literature on educating for peace. In documenting the reflections of the world’s leading teachers of peace, including some of the field’s founders, the book sheds light on both the process and the products that have brought the study of peace to its fifty-year mark. The examination of the dynamic connections between peacemaking, education, individual development, and widespread social change is chronicled through examples from the USA, Japan, China, India, Pakistan, Germany, Argentina, Colombia, Trinidad, New Zealand, Mexico and more, and charts the words and work of scholar-activists including the late Betty Reardon and the granddaughter of Mohandas Gandhi, South Africa’s Ela Gandhi. Together, the essays represent, in the words (from the Foreword) of United Nations University for Peace Rector Francisco Rojas Aravena, “a colossal instrument to reaffirm dialogue over force.”
