Reviews
“A refreshing take on peace studies and conflict—induced by violence, hate, and extremism—that are grounded on: (1) theoretical-religious-praxes insights important for academic exploration and practitioners’ application, as well as (2) a decolonial call for “we perspectives” based on Mindanao thought and experiences detailing context-bounded and culturally-embedded issues and solutions contributed and participated by key CSOs and community development partners.” -- Dr Nassef Manabilang Adiong, Director, Policy Research and Legal Services, BARMM Bangsamoro Transition Authority, Cotabato City, Mindanao “The role of Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) in combating violent extremism is essential yet largely overlooked, despite the significant impact of violent extremism on communities. In this volume, CSOs amplify the voices of their communities, highlighting not only their experiences as victims but also their valuable contributions as active sources of solutions to the challenges posed by violent extremism.” Atty. Benedicto R. Bacani, Executive Director, Institute for Autonomy and Governance, Cotabato City, Mindanao
