The purpose of this text is to provide the reader with a
comprehensive understanding of the nature of violence, aggression,
extremism, and ethnic hate crimes in the US, and to explicate how
community development, stewardship, and service may be implemented
to address and reduce these problems. When individuals of diverse
backgrounds are provided with engagement, interaction, and
community-building stewardship programs, negative ethnic
stereotypes are debunked, conflict is reduced, and individuals are
more likely to communicate and build a more resilient and empowered
community. Recent political and administrative policies have
created a very tense environment among cities within the US,
especially within communities that have larger populations of
immigrant refugees and persons of varied ethnicities. This book
aims to ameliorate some of that tension.

Communities today face unprecedented racial tension, conflict, and
turmoil. Social unrest, political rhetoric, authoritarian rulers,
and economic disparities contribute to unprecedented levels of
community violence and extremism. The Evolution of Human
Cooperation and Community Development: A Greener Approach to
Understanding the Dynamics of Conflict proposes a more
comprehensive and community-oriented approach to address conflict
through the development of community resources and ecologically
sustainable green space programs, such as community gardening
programs. The authors draw on empirical research to identify how
resources may be utilized to promote increased positive intergroup
contact and provide greater collaboration among community
residents. This book provides the essential interpersonal
mechanisms to achieve a more resilient, empowered, and peaceful
community.
