Revolutionary Peace Through Ethnic Studies, by José Hernández
Álvarez, explains how Spanish, French and British colonization
shaped United States society and the ongoing experience of
Americans of Native, African, Latin, Asian and immigrant origin.
This researched and readable text calls for all Americans to
declare their independence from the culture of conflict prevailing
since the Revolutionary War. Pluralism (the concept of many in one)
serves to study diversity and conditions needed for a national
culture of peace. Paradigms, from resistance to domination,
emphasize women and provide a frame for discovering the universal
in how people cope with disadvantages. Each chapter’s discussion
topics stimulate critical thinking, instead of partisan polemics.
Supporting active learning, this aims to cultivate mutual
understanding and respect, strengthen values of self-determination,
equal access, civic participation and cooperative action for peace
and prosperity.
