Summary:

"What is the role of hope in the lives of individuals and collectives mired in conflict and political unrest? How do political elites utilize hope and skepticism to mobilize citizens, and how does hope manifest itself at the grassroots level? Under what conditions can hope proliferate in the seemingly hopeless situations of intractable conflicts, and why do despair and fear often prevail? Is being hopeful necessarily a good thing, or are there situations when hope should be avoided, or at least minimized? These questions are not only thought-provoking but also highly relevant to the reality of millions of people around the world struggling for justice, equality, and peace"-- Provided by publisher.
