Birch (linguistics, California State U., Fresno) has taught EFL in Spain, Ecuador, and Pakistan, conducted inservice workshops for Peace Corps volunteers in Macedonia, and worked with English teacher trainers in Mongolia. She offers a thought-provoking text exploring how English language teachers throughout the world can contribute to local and global peace. Birch outlines the premises of her position: as part of global civil society, the network of English language teachers is a global resource for sustainable peace; English language teachers can understand local causes of conflict and violence, and find ways to transform it; teachers and learners can envision a preferred future, and work toward it through pedagogies of transition that repair relationships through conflict transformation, tolerance, remembrance, reconciliation, and forgiveness. For English language teacher trainers, pre-service teachers, practicing classroom teachers, and Peace Corps workers. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
