LITERATURE AND PEACE

Peace Review
SUMMER 2001: Volume 13, Number 2
Special Editor: Tracy Seeley, University of San Francisco

Deadline for Submissions: January 7, 2001

Poetry makes many things happen: from narrative and poems which give voice to the oppressed or name the oppressor, to poetry whose apolitical lyricism resists the artistic mandates of an oppressive state, to works in which language itself is a revolutionary act. This issue of Peace Review will explore literature and the arts of peace, understood in their broadest sense. We welcome essays that explore such matters as aesthetics and the politics of peace; literature's role in peace and justice movements; writers' relation to the state and human rights. We also welcome poetry or short fiction related to Peace Review's focus in this special issue.

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. Our task is to present the results of this research and thinking in short (no more than 3500 words), accessible and substantive essays.
