Peace for Our Planet by Roya Akhavan Ph D
This book tells the story of a new historical dialectic in the world between two parallel processes: constructive and destructive. It traces the growth of a constructive collective consciousness that has delegitimized the root causes of war, including racism, nationalism, religious strife, gender inequality and extremes of wealth and poverty. Those who have profited from these divisive attitudes are bound to take a last stand. Yet, they are fighting a losing battle. Amidst the blinding haze generated by the accelerated collapse of these outworn mindsets and institutions, this book brings into focus the forward march of the constructive process toward peace, and the powerful role each of us can play in its realization.
