Abstract

This chapter offers an intersectional assessment of peace education and conflict resolution pedagogy in contemporary South Africa. This chapter provides a brief conceptual overview of peace education, conflict resolution and nonviolence education in South Africa. The chapter locates contemporary curricula and practices of peace education and nonviolence within the country’s democratic constitution, whose Preamble addresses emerging from Apartheid and colonial oppression and violence into a society of reconciliation and nationbuilding. The chapter then analyses Human Rights Education as reconciliation and nationbuilding in post-Apartheid South Africa, from actual junior and high school curricula and university courses and peace and reconciliation institutions, to programmes offered by government and Constitutional Rights Commissions.
