Keethaponcalan, Professor of Conflict Resolution, Salisbury University, Maryland, USA "Through this book, students of politics, policy, human rights, and peace studies are offered engagement with resistance against violence and find connections through lived experiences for various possibilities in our common desire for peace." -Umut Ozkaleli, Associate Professor, ADA University, Baku, Azerbaijan "This unique collection of diverse voices invites readers to listen with their souls along a series of journeys where individual identities, realities, and experiences merge into one: that of an intensely interdependent humanity." -Imani Scott, Professor of Communications, Savannah College of Art and Design, Georgia, USA This book explores the complexity, multiplicity, intersectionality, and dynamism of cultures in connection with critical and emancipatory peacebuilding.
