Community, Diversity and Difference: Implications for Peace is an interdisciplinary collection of essays exploring resources for peacemaking in light of recent literature on multi-culturalism, nation formation, and the rise of the global community. The volume presents to readers a cross section of an emerging field of study: the philosophy of peace. This particular volume brings together essays that explore philosophical questions surrounding diversity and their implications for peace; it will be the fifth volume in the Philosophy of Peace Book Series-- a unique series within the Value Inquiry Books Series (VIBS).

The volume contains six sections: Difference and Community: Barriers, Metaphors and Re-creations; Nationalism, Identity Politics, and Philosophies of Liberation; Race, Nation and American Democracy; Multiculturalism and Peacemaking; Diversity, Nonviolence and Peacemaking Strategies; and, Toward World Peace and a Global Community. The volume will have an extensive bibliography of writings on diversity and peace studies and will be suited to both professional and student audiences.
