By Susan Hartley
Global Voices for Peace: An Introduction to Peacebuilders and the Hope They Bring by PEI-based editor and creator Susan Hartley launches on April 29. A book launch will be held from 7–9 pm at Beaconsfield Carriage House, Charlottetown.
Global Voices for Peace is a collection of reflections on themes related to the state of peacebuilding across the world.In one page, each contributor has offered their thoughts, reflections and actions in response to questions such as: What needs to happen for humanity to find a way to peace for our world, our communities, and our societies? What actions can be taken—can we take—now to move this forward?
Featuring more than 100 peacebuilders, Global Voices for Peace introduces the reader to a diverse network of individuals, groups and organizations from more than 50 nations who work directly to bring peace to their neighbourhood, community, and society, as well as on the global stage. Local contributors include Leo Broderick, Marie Burge, Jill McCormack, Martin Rutte, Julie Pellissier-Lush, Todd MacLean, Sharon McKay, Chris Batchilder, Oliver Batchilder, and the late Tim Goddard.
This anthology also introduces readers to the intersections between peace and conflict, and the climate and environmental crises, food insecurity, inequality, gender, migration, sport, colonialism, and mental health. The focus on peacebuilding is broadly presented through reflections on personal, family, community, societal, and global peace work.
