Summary
""People's Peace: Prospects for a Human Future" is a collection of essays highlighting the everyday and ordinary acts of peace committed by people living in community. The essays span a range of humanities disciplines: history, philosophy, theology, anthropology, cultural studies, and peace studies. Putting these approaches and methods in dialogue with each other produces a theoretical intervention that aims to shift the study of peace away from high organizations and institutions and locate it within people's lives and lived culture. Each essay in this book provides an important instance of people's peace where individuals defy authority or overcome cultural stigmas to assert the value of peaceful relations with others and their own personal dignity.

There is no script-the licensees talk naturally about how they handle difficult situations and how they keep their premises peaceful. Some typical problems, and the techniques that successful licensees use to resolve them, are illustrated in short dramatisations."

Summary
A Zionist among Palestinians offers the perspective of an ordinary Israeli citizen who became concerned about the Israeli military's treatment of Palestinians and was moved to work for peace. Hillel Bardin, a confirmed Zionist, was a reservist in the Israeli army during the first intifada when he met Palestinians arrested by his unit. He learned that they supported peace with Israel and the then-taboo proposal for a two-state solution, and that they understood the intifada as a struggle to achieve these goals. Bardin began to organize dialogues between Arabs and Israelis in West Bank villages.
