This book celebrates the voices and the agency of the subalterns, honoring their visions, testimonies and struggles to push boundaries and create spaces for peace within oppressive environments. ?Visions and Praxis from below? refers to peace visions and struggles of the people who live ?below the vital ability of shaping the world according to their own vision?. It is a challenge to the hegemonic perspective that ?credible? thinking on peace can only be done by the people ?from above?. This perspective will add to the understanding of not only peace psychologists, but all those who work toward social justice. ?Peace as Liberation: Visions and Praxis from Below is a welcome intervention in the field of peace psychology, and just what is needed to redress the entrenched Eurocentricity of peace studies. Incisive, confronting and genuine, it is a wonderful collection of essays that centres the voices and agency of subaltern scholars. Highly recommended." --Richard Jackson, University of Otago, New Zealand ?After fighting the 20 Years War by demonizing Islam and being defeated, US NATO started a new proxy war by demonizing the former Cold War enemy. Global South is no longer as docile as before. No, its very wisdom sheds light on the path to save innocent people who sacrifice blood in the proxy war.? -- Isezaki Kenji, Tokyo University of Foreign Studies, Japan ?We are living through a profoundly significant moment in the history of Decolonisation, even as old Balances are splintering , and old Hegemons are tottering. It is timely, it is relevant, and it adds depth to the burgeoning clamor of critiques, as the 'subalterns' are finding their Voice. freed from the muzzles of their erstwhile masters.? -- Rajani Kanth , ex-Harvard University, United States ?This groundbreaking book breaks barriers in peace studies, giving voice to marginalized perspectives and challenging epistemic violence. A transformative must-read.? -- Zahid Shahab Ahmed, Deakin University, Australia. 410 0$aPeace Psychology Book Series,$x2197-5787 606 $aPsychology 606 $aPolitical psychology 606 $aBehavioral Sciences and Psychology 606 $aPeace Psychology 606 $aPolitical Psychology 615 0$aPsychology. 615 0$aPolitical psychology. 615 14$aBehavioral Sciences and Psychology. 615 24$aPeace Psychology. 615 24$aPolitical Psychology. 676 $a303.66 702 $aSajjad$b Fatima Waqi 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910746961003321 996 $aPeace As Liberation$93573655 997 $aUNINA
