Ending Cycles of Violence can be read as an eye- and heart-opening window into the traumatic post-election violence in 2007 and the profound response by Quaker peace workers. It can also be read as a primer on preventive peace work, the vital on the ground work of "preemptive peace."
Judy Lumb provides the historical and political context within a clear and concise structure for us to sit back and really listen to several different Quaker men and women who experienced and responded to the outbreak of violence in their communities. As Kenyans prepare for the 2012 or early 2013 presidential elections, this book is a wonderful resource. As people in nations and regions around the globe are faced with seemingly endless cycles of violence, this book is also an important case study in the humble and yet profound intention of a group of people to end cycles of violence via community-based conflict resolution and trauma healing.
