Reviews
We are reminded daily of the precariousness of life as the mass media portray a pervasive culture of violence. This book offers a curriculum response to this portrayal, reminding us that peace education is a pedagogical obligation both to take notice and to present a counternarrative to this dominant message. The authors of this volume demonstrate convincingly that peace is neither an abstract ideal nor a finite curriculum objective, but an educational engagement with the real conditions of life. They provide numerous rich and compelling examples drawn from international case studies and thoughtful essays on the many dimensions of violence and non-violent curriculum actions. (Terrance R. Carson, Professor Emeritus, University of Alberta)
