conflicting moral imperatives surrounding questions of justice,
memory, resistance, and identity. The individual chapters, written

accounts and analyses of traditional and nontraditional
performances in Serbia, Uganda, Sri Lanka, Palestine, Israel,
Argentina, Peru, India, Cambodia, Australia, and the United States.

socially engaged artists, cultural workers, peacebuilding scholars
and practitioners, human rights activists, students of peace and
justice studies, and whoever wishes to better understand conflict
and the power of art to bring about social change. The Acting
Together project is born of a collaboration between Theatre Without
Borders and the Program in Peacebuilding and the Arts at the
International Center for Ethics, Justice, and Public Life at
Brandeis University. The two volumes are edited by Cynthia E.
Cohen, director of the aforementioned program and a leading figure
in creative approaches to coexistence and reconciliation; Roberto

Can businesses collaborate with nonprofit organizations? Drawing
lessons from 24 cases of cross-sector partnerships spanning the
hemisphere, "Social Partnering in Latin America" analyzes how
businesses and nonprofits are creating partnerships to move beyond
traditional corporate philanthropy. An American supermarket and a
Mexican food bank, an Argentine newspaper and a solidarity network,
and a Chilean pharmacy chain and an elder care home are just a few
examples of how businesses are partnering with community
organizations in powerful ways throughout Latin America. The
authors analyze why and how such social partnering occurs. The book
provides a compelling framework for understanding cross-sector
collaborations and identifying motivations for partnering and key
levers that maximize value creation for participants and
society.
What makes civil society organizations effective performers? What
are key practices for businesses creating social value activities
as a part of their overall operations? Business leaders have long
analyzed corporate practices; this book represents an innovative
analysis of how one does good in an effective and strategic manner.
This book aims to enable social and business leaders to gain a
greater understanding of how to achieve high performance in terms
of social value creation.
Social Enterprise Knowledge Network is a research partnership
encompassing eleven leading management schools--nine in Latin
America, one in Spain, and Harvard Business School--with a

field-based research in Latin America.
Based on the results of a two-year research process on how
social and business organizations in Ibero-America achieve superior
social performance, "Seeking Success in Social Enterprise" presents
the most comprehensive and in-depth analysis of such practices ever
undertaken in this region. This practitioner-oriented book also
enriches the literature on organizational performance, social
enterprise, and corporate social responsibility, and on
Ibero-America more generally.
