At the same time, given its history of colonialism, racial oppression, and reconciliation attempts, the island also stands as a microcosm of global interest in peacebuilding. \u003ci\u003ePeace Psychology in Australia\u003c\/i\u003e shows peace efforts making inroads as this large, diverse country undergoes rapid social change. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book brings into focus the history of relations between Indigenous peoples and the descendents of British and other settlers, the experiences of recent immigrants, and the perspectives of peace professionals on how to achieve a more cooperative and less fragmented society. Chapters identify key factors in successful integration, analyzing the intricate balance between valuing diversity and promoting common bonds, values, and identity. The range of historical and contemporary issues featured includes the country's hidden history of structural inequity, the rich tradition of Indigenous methods of resolving conflicts, and Australia's unique possibilities for social justice. And peace psychologists are shown in context, whether advocating for asylum seekers or working with men's groups to rethink the long-prevailing culture of male domination.
