Rezensionen

'A well-documented book on sociological theory that takes the reader on an unexpected journey through topical issues such as peace and sustainable development.'

Paolo De Nardis, Professor Emeritus of Sociology, 'Sapienza' University of Rome, Italy

'A highly topical and timely book inviting us to reflect on how peace has always been studied although not organically in sociological terms. The originality of this work lies precisely in having filled this gap by bringing together sociological topics scattered across time and space into a single cognitive effort.'

Roberta Iannone, Full Professor of Sociology, 'Sapienza' University of Rome, Italy

'By choosing the study of peace as her research field, Gurashi succeeded in mapping the notions and experiences associated with this topic of investigation across a broad spatial-temporal spectrum. In this sense, the strength of this work lies in starting from clear assumptions and probing aspects that have not yet been explored in depth.'

Patrizia Sterpetti, Cultural Antropologist, President Wilpf Italy
