Description
Strategizing Global Peace: Integrating Gender, Nonviolence, and Museums for Peace in a Changing World is an interdisciplinary examination focusing on how gender, nonviolence, and collective memory shape the evolving landscape of peace in a rapidly changing world. It illuminates the historical and contemporary struggles faced by women ranging from structural inequality to direct violence while simultaneously showcasing their pivotal roles in peacebuilding across South Asia and the wider Global South. The chapters further engage with key dimensions of peace practice, including Gandhian nonviolence, peace journalism, and emerging digital technologies, each of which is transforming how societies perceive, interpret, and respond to conflict.
The book examines how museums and memorials function as pedagogical spaces for peace. By analyzing narratives of political assassinations, nuclear tragedies, and military histories, it demonstrates how public memory can foster empathy, understanding, and cross-cultural dialogue. Through the case studies of Kashmir and the Korean Peninsula, the book highlights how curated histories can help nations comprehend another's suffering and aspirations.
Ultimately, this work lays out a clear, insightful, and hopeful pathway toward building fairer, more inclusive, and more peaceful societies in today's complex global environment.
