PEACE REVIEW invites the submission of essays on humane solutions and success
stories from Africa. The issue will focus not solely on the challenges faced by
African nations but developing solutions that will work in the new millennium.
Suggested themes include democratization, social activism or justice, cultural
criticism and intervention, truth and reconciliation, community or grassroots
empowerment (economic, social, political, environmental, cultural,
psychological), conflict resolution and peace, regional cooperation, continental
integration, the roles of allies, coalition building, and stands in solidarity,
and repairing cleavages of gender, ethnicity or class. Essays will be ! accepted
from various disciplines across the social sciences and humanities, and may be
academic or prescriptive in style.

PEACE REVIEW is a quarterly, multidisciplinary, transnational journal of
research and analysis, focusing on the current issues and controversies that
underlie the promotion of a more peaceful world. We define peace research to
include human rights, development, ecology, culture, race, gender and related
issues. We present the results of this research and thinking in short (2500 -
3500 words), accessible and substantive essays.
