Beskrivning
Grassroots Approaches to Community-Based Peacebuilding Initiatives examines how change is affected in society by studying the experiences of community leaders involved in social activism in Winnipeg, Canada. Documenting the peace-building activities of a host of Community Based Organizations (CBOs), it explores how these activities are used strategically to impact conflict transformation related to issues such as racism, inequality, and extremism in local settings. Due to its combination of a theoretical foundation and first-hand accounts of actual peace-building projects, this book is a highly useful resource for understanding policy and praxis related to peace-building, and a significant contribution to the literature on peace and conflict studies and policy formation.

Recensioner i media

In this important study, Kawser Ahmed listens to the voices of community leaders on the front-lines of social justice work in Winnipeg, Manitoba. These leaders are working with nongovernmental, ethnic-based, and faith-based organizations. In his analysis, Dr. Ahmed explores the intersection among structural factors and grassroots activism in the face of social challenges such as poverty, discrimination, and colonialism. This study is significant for learning both the strengths and obstacles to civil society as an engine of social change, and the complexities that shape various forms of violence and inequality in society, and makes an important contribution to theory-building in peace and conflict studies.
