The word dialogue suffers from over-use, yet its practice is as transforming and as freshly hopeful as ever. Authors Schirch and Campt demonstrate dialogues life and possibilities in this clear and absorbing manual: Dialogue allows people in conflict to listen to each other, affirm their common ground, and explore their differences in a safe environment. Schirch has worked throughout the Southern hemisphere in peacebuilding projects. Campt has focused on racial and class reconciliation in American cities.
