Abstract:
This book highlights the important role youth can play in processes of peacebuilding by examining music as a tool for engaging youth in such activities. As the author discusses throughout the book, music - as expression, as creation, as inspiration - can provide unique insights into transforming conflicts, altering our understandings, and achieving change. The author offers detailed empirical work on two youth peacebuilding programs in Australia and Northern Ireland, countries that appear overtly peaceful, but where youth still face structural violence and related direct violence at the community level. The book also pays careful attention to the ways in which gender norms might influence young people's participation in music-based peacebuilding activities. Ultimately, the book defines a new research area linking youth cultures and music with peacebuilding practice and policy.--description from publisher's website
