Book synopsis

Inspired by Lorenzo Milani's (1923-1967) biography, this book takes different trajectories in promoting and problematizing peace, and confirming the complex and multifaceted nature of the struggle for authentically peaceful social relations. The chapters range from the struggle over the creation of memories to repositioning peace artifacts within museums, from rewriting history textbooks to exposing the limits of peace programs, and interrogating symbolic violence to exposing real violence in different contexts. Borg and Grech explore the Catholic Church in the post-internet world, and form an understanding of peace and community through Milani's works. This book aims to engage readers in reclaiming the right to dream of a world that disowns fatalism, a world that refuses to accept uncritically the colonization of human beings and their resources on a local and global scale.
