In a world replete with stories of sectarian violence, we are often
left wondering: Are there places where people of different
ethnicities, especially with significant Muslim minorities, live in
peace? If so, why haven't we heard more about them, and what
explains their success?
To answer these questions, Karl Meyer and Shareen Brysac
undertook a two-year exploration of oases of civility, places
notable for minimal violence, rising life-expectancy, high
literacy, and pragmatic compromises on cultural rights. They
explored the Indian state of Kerala, the Russian republic of
Tatarstan, the city of Marseille in France, the city of Flensburg,
Germany, and the borough of Queens, New York. Through scores of
interviews, they document ways and means that have proven
successful in defusing ethnic tensions. This pathbreaking book
elegantly blends political history, sociology, anthropology, and
journalism, to provide big ideas for peace.
