[lojban-beginners] Anyone interested in Peacemaking and Linguistics?

[Carlos Gabriel Quiroz <quirozom@gmail.com>]

Hello everyone, my name's Gabriel. I'm quite serious about becoming a peace activist and my interest in Lojban is its potential for interpersonal conflict resolution, mediation, negotiations, etc. since I'm very interested in the role of language and communication in conflict resolution and peace making. Right now I'm learning all I can about Peace -building, -making, -keeping, Peace Theory, Peace Education, Peace Culture, nonviolence, community building, etc. everything involved with peace. I'd really appreciate it if anyone here has any books, articles, websites, documentaries to recommend. Naturally, I've read 1984 and am interested in digging deeper. 

If anyone's interested in learning about peace, let me know and I'll share with you sources and materials as I come by them. 

Here are some which I consider good to start with. Most of what I've been reading has been offline.

Manifesto 2000 by UNESCO

(a voluntary compromise)
