Peace studies & conflict resolution; Violence in society; Gender studies: women

This book shifts the focus of peacebuilding away from nation-states and international organisations to make a powerful argument that sustainable peacebuilding is the work of ordinary people. It brings together work done in Gaza, Ghana, Mexico, Morocco and Zimbabwe, alongside work with refugees in Scotland, to argue for a place for successful intercultural relations as a central aim of peacebuilding, moving beyond the more usual focus on economic development. With a particular emphasis on addressing gender-based violence and the role of women in peacebuilding, together with a central role for arts and culture as a means of resistance and social change, the chapters represent the fruit of collaborative work across geographical and cultural borders, between artists, activists and academics, bringing a wide range of disciplinary perspectives to bear on situations of violence and precarity. In a world where peace work can feel increasingly futile, this book makes a powerful case for the crucial role of local action and cultural work and play in the creation of a better future.

The book will be open access under a CC BY ND licence.

Reviews for Cultures of Sustainable Peace: Conflict Transformation, Gender-Based Violence, Decolonial Praxes

This important book highlights the vital role of cultural rights and gender equality in sustainable peace, drawing on decolonising and restorative paradigms to create cultures of peace using the arts. It offers original conceptualisations and theorisations of methods used to sustain cultures of peace in contexts of extreme violence and precarity in the Global South. * Francis B.
