    First published in 1999. This work's central thesis is that language, as historically used, has been a significant factor in creating political oppression, and economic and social discrimination. The editors argue that the challenge for the next century is to begin using language to inspire inclusion rather than exclusion.

    Part I: language, ideology and peace. Part II: language and war. Part III: language and social discrimination. Part IV: language, education, and peace.
