Beyond Equity and Inclusion in Conflict Resolution: Recentering the
Profession illustrates how racism has informed the field of
conflict resolution and its allied professions. Useful for any
field that recruits, standardizes, or "professionalizes" its
adherents, this volume addresses how individuals, organizations,
and institutions shape and have been shaped by racist ideas and
practices. These ideas and practices, embedded in the fabric of our
country, are exposed in this historic moment and held up to the
light for close examination. In addition to a critique of the
status quo, Beyond Equity and Inclusion in Conflict Resolution
casts an eye toward creating a just and equitable future for the
field. Narratives, interviews, poems, and essays from activists,
practitioners, and scholars who represent diverse constituencies
marry theory and practice to encourage, stimulate, and motivate
colleagues to expand the boundaries for our field and our world.

At its core, the field of conflict resolution is about
relationships and ways of approaching methods for problem solving.
These relationships and approaches vary greatly depending on the
individual, society, and historical background. Cultural
perspective is thus fundamental to any dispute intervention.
""Re-Centering Culture and Knowledge in Conflict Resolution
Practice"" is a collection of essays by scholars and practitioners
of conflict resolution and grassroots members of communities whose
contributions are not commonly recognized.The volume offers a
sampling of the cultural voices essential to effective practice yet
often considered marginal in the discourse of conflict resolution.
The authors explore the role of culture, race, and oppression in
resolving disputes. Drawing on firsthand experience and sound
research, the authors address such issues as culturally sensitive
mediation practices, the diversity of perspectives in conflict
resolution literature, and power dynamics. The first anthology of
its kind, this book combines personal narratives with formal
scholarship. By melding these varied approaches, the authors seek
to inspire activism for social justice in today's multicultural
society.
