Preface
Teaching Peace
From: Educating for Action
$0.70
In an age of endless war, when history is in perpetual mourning, groaning under the burden of class oppression, peace is a necessary practice. In a world redolent of George Orwell’s novel 1984, where war is peace and peace is war, we need to reengage in teaching peace with ontological clarity and a renewed commitment to strategize for social change. Peace education does not guarantee that peace will be achieved, but without peace education we are permanently exiled from victory.
