“… Brings a breath of fresh air to scholarship in [peace and security] by including issues not usually canvassed in discussions … This is what makes for innovations as the authors and editors have ably demonstrated.” —Prof. Patricia Kameri-Mbote, Director, Law Division United Nations Environment Programme “… An accessible yet rigorous reflection by committed African scholars and practitioners on issues of peace and security …” —Dr. Odomaro Mubangizi, S.J., Former Dean of the Philosophy Department at the Institute of Philosophy and Theology, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, and Editor of Justice, Peace and Environment Bulletin “… Helpful to social change organizations and policy-making bodies at local, national, and international levels.” —David Atwood, PhD, Former Director and Representative for Disarmament and Peace, Quaker United Nations Office, Geneva, and Consultant, Small Arms Survey, Geneva This edited volume harnesses African expertise to examine the local and global dimensions of peace. It is an outcome of a workshop in Nairobi, Kenya that convened African academics and practitioners with diverse specialisations. The authors’ contributions foreground local voices across a broad scope of inquiry, including rural community structures, health, trauma, sexual violence, peacekeeping and cybersecurity. African knowledge is essential to understanding peace on the continent – the complexities of conflict and insecurity, the lived experiences of individuals and communities, and their responses to such phenomena. This analytical approach underpins the book, creating fertile ground to identify and develop innovations that hold the promise for sustainable African solutions.
