When people learn that I study and teach peace history, they often look puzzled and ask me, “Does peace have a history?” A Cultural History of Peace is an emphatically positive response to that question. Yes, peace has a history. The original scholarly essays collected in these six volumes clearly show that peace always has been an important human concern. More precisely, these essays demonstrate that what we recognize today as peace thinking and peace imagining, peace seeking and peace making, peace keeping and peace building have long recorded histories that stretch from antiquity to the twenty-first century. All of us who have contributed to A Cultural History of Peace believe that present and future generations should have the opportunity to recognize and understand the importance of this peace history.
