Books by Franke Wilmer

Peace activists empathically engaging with one another and working from both sides of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict are trying to disrupt the dominant conflict narratives that make this conflict seem so intractable. Can their activism bring about a tipping point that can break the cycle of violence?

The author examines how indigenous activists are cultivating international support for a programme of self-determination and legal protection, as well as how the indigenous voice in world politics is transforming civic discourse within the international community. With the United Nations designating 1993 as the `Year of Indigenous Peoples', this book could not be more timely.

Combining detailed analysis with a close reading of historical narratives, documentary evidence and first-hand interviews, this is the first book on conflict to look seriously at the issue of ethnic identity and what it means for future peace.
