It is the astonishingly far-sighted approach, essentially still relevant today, to perceive different forms of violence not as separate phenomena but as a syndrome that ultimately threatens human life as a whole. The author contrasts this with political-economic, ecological, and gender sensitive alternatives that provide useful impulses for today's educational debates. - Professor (ret.) Dr. Werner Wintersteiner, Klagenfurt University, Austria Betty's work reminds and still inspires us in the understanding that peace education is a necessary pursuit, on the road to moving hearts and minds toward peace and away from the racist white supremacist patriarchal and heteronormative behaviors and systems that are the primary root causes of war. - Dr. David Ragland, Co-Founder and Co-Executive Director for Reparations at the Truth Telling Project of Ferguson Reardon's timeless and compelling presentation of peace education concepts and pedagogy reminds us of the essential role that educators can play in cultivating the consciousness, courage, and capacities of future peacemakers and activists. - Felisa Tibbitts, Chair in Human Rights Education, Utrecht University, The Netherlands and UNESCO Chair in Human Rights and Higher Education This new edition offers fresh perspectives and insights from Betty Reardon on her classic text that explains the field's core concepts such as peacemaking capacities, education for negative and positive peace, and--more important than ever--planetary stewardship and global citizenship.
