Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "John Paul Lederach's work in the field of conciliation and mediation is internationally recognized. He has provided consultation, training and direct mediation in a range of situations from the Miskito/Sandinista conflict in Nicaragua to Somalia, Northern Ireland, Tajikistan, and the Philippines. His influential 1997 book Building Peace has become a classic in the discipline. In this book, Lederach poses the question, "How do we transcend the cycles of violence that bewitch our human community while still living in them?" Peacebuilding, in his view, is both a learned skill and an art. Finding this art, he says, requires a worldview shift. Conflict professionals must envision their work as a creative act-an exercise of what Lederach terms the "moral imagination." This imagination must, however, emerge from and speak to the hard realities of human affairs. The peacebuilder must have one foot in what is and one foot beyond what exists. The book is organized around four guiding stories that point to the moral imagination but are incomplete. Lederach seeks to understand what happened in these individual cases and how they are relevant to large-scale change. His purpose is not to propose a grand new theory. Instead he wishes to stay close to the "messiness" of real processes and change, and to recognize the serendipitous nature of the discoveries and insights that emerge along the way. overwhelmed the equally important creative process. Like most professional peacemakers, Lederach sees his work as a religious vocation. Lederach meditates on his own calling and on the spirituality that moves ordinary people to reject violence and seek reconciliation. Drawing on his twenty-five years of experience in the field he explores the evolution of his understanding of peacebuilding and points the way toward the future of the art." http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0616/2004011794-d.html.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every day, around the world, people living in poverty work for peace in often unseen ways. Joining in this struggle has been the mission of the International Movement ATD Fourth World for more than 50 years.ATD Fourth World's newest book, Artisans of Peace Overcoming Poverty, introduces partners in peace-building whose efforts have too often remained unrecognized. People committedto solidarity in Haiti, Madagascar, the United States, Guatemala, and elsewhere help us to understand their efforts, encouraging all those around the world who strive to overcome the injustice of poverty. In Haiti, these are people like: Merita Colot, who lived in a "no-go zone" and made a point of opening her door for child development projects; Jean-Hughes Henrys, a doctor who refuses to leave for greener pastures and who fights brain drain by encouraging young people to remain despite hardship; and Michèle Montas, then Special Adviser to the UN, who sought out people like Merita and her neighbors so they could provide insights from their experience on how to rebuild the country in such a way that no one would be left behind. Artisans of Peace is rooted in participatory research that was conducted by ATD Fourth World on the violence of extreme poverty that showed just how much people living in poverty do to search for peace, to go beyond violence, and to build a sense of community.Through narratives and numerous color photos, we discover the acts of courage, as well as the creativity, experience, and insights of people born into poverty who are striving to overcome it together with others.

Book excerpt: The Good Friday Agreement resulted in the cessation of paramilitary violence in Northern Ireland. However, prejudice and animosity between Protestants and Catholics remains. The Real Peace Process draws on extensive fieldwork in Protestant and Catholic churches across Ireland to analyse how Christian worship can become caught up in sectarianism. The book examines the need for a peace process that changes hearts and minds and not merely civic structures of their inhabitants. Aspects of everyday worship – ranging from the spatial and symbolic to the verbal, musical and interpersonal – are explored as the means by which sectarianism can be challenged and transformed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume introduces a movement of resistance to the violence of poverty. At the heart of this resistance, beyond the struggle to survive, is people's commitment to solidarity for building a better future for all. What links all those who have chosen to be part of ATD Fourth World is a shared belief in the importance of people. Many who work toward peace make efforts that have too often remained unrecognized. In Haiti, these are people like: Merita Colot, who lived in a ?no-go zone? and made a point of opening her door for child development projects; Jean-Hughes Henrys, a doctor who refuses to leave for greener pastures and who fights brain drain by encouraging young people to remain despite hardship; and Miche?le Montas, then Special Adviser to the UN, who sought out people like Merita and her neighbors so they could provide insights from their experience on how to rebuild the country in such a way that no one would be left behind. Some people choose to join ATD Fourth World's Volunteer Corps and become long-term witnesses and partners of excluded populations. Learning by doing, alongside children and young people, parents and grandparents, in villages and urban areas, they create with others an ethical lifestyle that challenges inequality, consumerism, and traditional hierarchies.People committed to solidarity in Madagascar, the United States, Guatemala, and elsewhere help us to understand their efforts ? and this understanding in turn supports and encourages not only those named in this book, but all the people around the world who strive to overcome the injustice of poverty. This book is rooted in participatory research that was conducted by ATD Fourth World on the violence of extreme poverty and that showed just how much people living in poverty do to search for peace, to go beyond violence, and to build a sense of community. Through narratives, photos, and video links, we discover the acts of courage, as well as the creativity, experience, and insights of people living in poverty in Haiti, France, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and elsewhere.

Book excerpt: In a world full of challenges and conflicts, the quest for peace emerges as an essential and urgent ideal for the survival and prosperity of humanity. While history is marked by wars and violent disputes, the time has come to question and reflect on the true meaning of peace and how we can achieve it in a lasting way. The concept of peace transcends the mere absence of war and violence. Peace covers the creation of an environment conducive to human flourishing, the guarantee of rights and dignity, respect for diversity, social justice and harmony between individuals and nations. Peace is not only a passive state, but an active condition, built with continuous and strategic efforts. In this ebook, we will explore various perspectives on the quest for peace, questioning the paradigm of war as a solution to conflicts and presenting alternatives for building a more peaceful world. Through historical examples, contemporary analyses and insights from visionary thinkers, we will examine how ideas and practices that sustain war can be questioned, challenged and replaced by a culture of peace. We believe that peace is not only a distant utopia, but an achievable goal through collective commitment, dialogue, mutual understanding and cooperation. In this journey, we will unveil the inner and outer dimensions of peace, recognizing its importance in our personal, community and global lives. Throughout the next chapters, we will explore various areas in which the quest for peace can be applied, from diplomacy between nations to the promotion of inner peace in each individual. Together, we will seek to expand our understanding of the complex nature of peace and learn how we can contribute significantly to building a more just, secure and peaceful world for all. We invite you to engage in this journey of reflection and discovery, in which the art of peace is revealed not only as an ideal to be pursued, but as a path that leads us towards a more promising future for all humanity. The quest for peace is in itself an act of courage and wisdom, and it is through it that we will find the strength to transform conflicts into opportunities for growth and harmony, building a world where the true art of peace prevails over the art of war.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Artisans of Peace Overcoming Poverty" introduces partners in peace-building whose efforts are rarely recognised. Volume 3 recounts how young people in the Central African Republic continued organising Street Libraries with children throughout the civil war that began in 2013. In the United Kingdom, Switzerland, and elsewhere, living in poverty are victimised by stereotypes and feared as a source of violence; but the greatest violence is done to them. Their participatory research leads to a new understanding about the choices people make to end the silence surrounding this violence and work towards peace.For almost sixty years, ATD Fourth World has sought out people in the most serious situations of extreme poverty. In low-income communities,this movement of people coordinates projects such as Street Libraries, the People's University, and fair-trade workshops. Over the years, in many parts of the world, members have witnessed the violence wrought by poverty. First in post-war Europe, and then in Africa, the Americas, and Asia, ATD has brought together people who live in poverty, making it possible for them to end the silence about this violence, and reinforcing their efforts to create peace in their communities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We live in precarious times and are seeking to make a lasting impact through immediate solutions. But in our haste we often make decisions to fix problems and persons, forgetting that we are not called to fix but rather to reconcile. In this wide-ranging collection of essays we explore what it might look like if we were to live in the world first with the purpose of reconciling and then allow that vision to guide our actions. Each essay engages with reconciliation in different contexts, providing meaningful and potentially transformative insights that will lead the reader to more faithful lives and activities. The essays are not filled with theoretical reflections but with hard-earned wisdom from proven thinkers, practitioners, and innovators.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on her popular workshops in Canada and Europe, Welcome to the Fifth Dimension is author Diane LeBlanc’s guide to helping readers recognize and integrate their multiple dimensions. Through examples, exercises, and channeled teachings, she shows us how to regain our co-creative power and live each day and moment in a state of grace. The key, says LeBlanc, is Quintessence, a self-coaching program that revitalizes the five most important dimensions of human existence in order to feel better, recover from disease, and be fully happy. The book breaks Quintessence into groups of five: the five energy fields that surround the body, the individual’s five main ÒSoul families,Ó the five dimensions of the human brain, and others. The book assesses and draws on many contemporary schools of thought, as seen in books like The Law of Attraction, The Power of Now, and The Celestine Prophecy. It also provides original teachings channeled from the powerful entity LeBlanc describes as the "Mother Earth Consciousness," personified as Bianca Gaia who is LeBlanc’s alter ego. Packed with charts, diagrams, and illustrations, this compelling book encourages readers to radically enhance their health and happiness by opening their minds to this new way of thinking.

This book was released on 2013-10-14 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1979, this book was the first, full-length study of working-class movements in London between 1800 and the beginnings of Chartism in the later 1830s. The leaders and rank and file in these movements were almost invariably artisans, and this book examines the position of the skilled artisan in politics. Starting from the social ideals, outlook and the experience of the London artisan, Dr Prothero describes trade union, political, co-operative, educational and intellectual movements in the first forty years of the century. Setting a scene of alternating growth and contraction in trade, successive hostile governments and the increasing articulation of working-class consciousness the author shows that artisans could be no less militant, radical or anti-capitalist than other groups of working class men.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers the design, evaluation, and learning for international interventions aiming to promote peace. More specifically, it reconceptualises this space by critically analysing mainstream approaches – presenting both conceptual and empirical content. This volume offers a variety of original and insightful contributions to the debates grappling with the adoption of complexity thinking. Insights from Complexity Thinking for Peacebuilding Practice and Evaluation addresses the core dilemma that practitioners have to confront: how to function in situations that are fast changing and complex, when equipped with tools designed for neither? How do we reconcile the tension between the use of linear causal logic and the dynamic political transitions that interventions are meant to assist? Readers will be given a rare opportunity to superimpose the latest conceptual innovations with the latest case study applications and from a diverse spectrum of organisational vantage points. This provides the myriad practitioners and consultants in this space with invaluable insights as to how to improve their trade craft, while ensuring policy makers and the accompanying research/academic industry have clearer guidance and innovative thinking. This edited volume provides critically innovative offerings for the audiences that make up this broad area’s practitioners, researchers/academics/educators, and consultants, as well as policy makers.
