Title: Seeds bearing fruit
Description: "No matter how little one knows about Africa, we cannot help but hear of raging poverty and out-of-control wars. Defying popular misconceptions, however, Seeds Bearing Fruit: Pan-African Peace Action for the Twenty-First Century recounts the stories of seemingly minor, local acts of creative resistance--acts that are the concrete basis for realistic hope. Based on an understanding that these acts will flower into new movements ready to right the wrongs of generations past, the authors draw their inspiration from the elders who have gone before us and the youth who work in our midst. This volume brings together grassroots activists, academics, nonviolent campaigners, local government officials, and researchers, from a wide variety of fields and from every region of the continent and Diaspora, to create a comprehensive picture of the budding initiatives that will make Africa a global force for good in the decades to come."--Publisher's website.
