“recommended”—Choice; “hard hitting, insightful and rigorous”—Dr. Marvin Berlowitz, Professor and Director, University of Cincinnati, Urban Center for Peace Education; “this book is essential reading for all who work in the field of peace education. It is also essential for all persons concerned that this nation become a source in the world for peace, justice, and human solidarity...a rewarding book”—Dr. Douglas Sloan, Professor Emeritus of History and Education Teachers College, Columbia University; “that the U.S. could become a legitimate peace actor on the world stage may seem an incredulous idea at a time of imperial war and egregious abuses of U.S. power. This book makes a convincing case for why, like Thoreau, we need to fight with, against, and alongside U.S. policymakers to extend to all human beings the universal right to dignity and respect at the risk of always discovering some ‘evil-doers’ to loathe and despise. United States Foreign Policy and the Prospects for Peace Education is a book that needs to be read by cultural workers everywhere who desire social and economic justice for all those who inhabit planet earth. This is an especially important work for educators and both compliments and extends many of the struggles being engaged by those in the field of critical pedagogy”—Peter McLaren, Graduate School of Education and Information Studies, University of California, Los Angeles.
