With the major goal of building an inclusive international
community that promotes peace-related research and action, this
volume reflects on local, national and global peace engagement and
works towards transdisciplinary understandings of the role of
psychology in peace, conflict, and violence. Drawn primarily from
14th Biennial International Symposium on the Contributions of
Psychology, the chapters focus on peacemaking--or the pursuit of
harmony in human relations-- and peacebuilding--or equity in human
relations-- with a special emphasis on voices from typically
underrepresented areas in psychology, such as the Global South. In
order to move beyond a Western-centered idea of peace psychology,
the volume is divided into two major parts. The first half of the
volume puts an emphasis on peace psychology research and praxis in
a number of geohistorical contexts, including Malaysia, Northern
Ireland, Thailand, and Kashmir, that bear on conflict, harmony and
equity in human relations. Chapters in the second half of the
volume fulfill the mandate of Biennial Symposia; namely, to create
more equity in the production of peace theory and praxis by
bringing forward the voices of scholars and change agents that are
often unheard in peace discourses, including a number of scholars
and chapters from South Africa. Additionally, throughout the
chapters, the authors and editors of the volume emphasize
emancipatory agendas as an important alternative to militarism and
state-sponsored violence. With the aim of bringing forward voices
from cultures and situations that are typically not included or
highly visible in peace discourses, Enlarging the Scope of Peace
Psychology in Invited and Invented Spaces: African and
World-Regional Contributions is a thought-provoking, timely, and
informative work. Psychologists, anthropologists, sociologists,
political scientists, activists, public-policy makers, and all
those interested in promoting peace and justice, are sure to find
this an invaluable and illuminating resource.
