Peace and Power: New Directions for Building CommunityBy Peggy Chinn
About Peace and Power: New Directions for Building Community

Based on her experiences in classrooms, committees, and workshops, noted author, nurse educator, and community activist Peggy L. Chinn illustrates how every participant in a group can be valued as a leader in Peace and Power: New Directions for Building Community, Ninth Edition. The book provides essential hands-on guidelines for developing cooperative group processes and overcoming group interactions that lead to alienation and disappointment, particularly those dynamics that give privilege and power to a few, while disadvantaging many in the group based on class, skin color, or disability. The book: - Describes how to create group interactions based on mindfully stated values arising from the group's purposes- Shows how to build meaningful relationships through nurturing and empowering group interactions and transformation of conflict- Illustrates how every person can be empowered and contribute to a group in ways that are often overlooked In this thoroughly updated edition, Chinn draws on examples from her most recent anti-racism activities. She also discusses her work in groups that were exclusively online on Zoom, a critical reality of our post-2020 world. The new content addresses not simply the dynamics of group processes, but some of the challenges involved in understanding dynamics involved in making change, specifically confronting racism and working to become antiracist as a group.
