A volume in Peace Education Series Editors Jing Lin, University of
Maryland, Edward Brantmeier, James Madison University, and Ian
Harris, University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee Historians often ignore
the day-to-day struggles of ordinary people to improve their lives.
They tend to focus on the accomplishments of illustrious leaders.
Peace Education from the Grassroots tells the stories of concerned
citizens, teachers, and grassroots peace activists who have
struggled to counteract high levels of violence by teaching about
the sources for violence and strategies for peace. The stories told
here come from the grass roots meaning the educators are close to
the forms of violence they are addressing. This collection of
essays tells how citizens at the grassroots level developed peace
education initiatives in thirteen different nations (Belgium,
Canada, El Salvador, Germany, India, Jamaica, Japan, Mexico, the
Philippines, South Korea, Spain, Uganda, and the United States). A
fourteenth article describes the efforts of the International Red
Cross to implement a human rights curriculum to teachers on the
ground in the Balkans, Iran, Senegal, and the United Sates. These
chapters describe a variety of schools, colleges, peace movement
organizations, community-based organizations, and international
nongovernmental organizations engaged in peace education.
