Bending the Arc provides a history of the conference and brings together the inspiring, personal stories from such well-known participants as Medea Benjamin, Blase Bonpane, Kathy Kelly, Bill Quigley, David Swanson, and Ann Wright, among others. Drawing from diverse philosophical and spiritual traditions, contributors share their experiences of working for peace and justice and discuss the obstacles to both. They address a wide range of contemporary problems, including the war on terror, killer drones, the invasions and occupations of Afghanistan and Iraq, mass surveillance, the human cost of war, political-economic impediments to peace, violent extremism, the role of women in peace-building, and the continued threat of nuclear weapons. With its stories of how peace activists found their calling and its exploration of why the world still needs peace activism, the book offers a vision rooted in human community and hope for the future"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Tekakwitha, Kateri, $c Saint, $d 1656-1680 $x Influence. 611 20 $a Kateri Tekakwitha Interfaith Peace Conference $x History. 600 17 $a Tekakwitha, Kateri, $c Saint, $d 1656-1680. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01801656 650 0 $a Peace movements $z New York (State) $x History. 650 0 $a Pacifists $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Peace $x Congresses. 650 7 $a Influence (Literary, artistic, etc.) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00972484 650 7 $a Pacifists. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01050133 650 7 $a Peace $x Congresses. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01055766 650 7 $a Peace movements. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01055858 651 7 $a New York (State) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01210280 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 $a Breyman, Steve, $e editor. 700 1 $a Amidon, John W., $d 1948- $e editor. 700 1 $a Aumand, Maureen Baillargeon, $d 1946- $e editor. 776 08 $i Online version: $t Bending the arc $d Albany : State University of New York, [2020] $z 9781438478760 $w (DLC) 2020000060 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317014927.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0F4604D671B711EB8A4F4B2E3BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
