Fighting Better
Constructive Conflicts in America
How can conflicts be constructive?
In Fighting Better, Louis Kriesberg argues that the crises confronting the US are the result of changes in dynamics along three societal dimensions: class, status, and power. Those changes were brought about by people waging conflicts constructively, destructively, or avoiding overt conflicts altogether.
Assessing conflicts since 1945
Kriesberg evaluates how well conflicts were waged in terms of advancing justice, liberty, and equal opportunity for all Americans. He offers ideas for how some of those fights might have been waged more effectively and with longer-term benefits, connecting current US crises to past mistakes.
Reducing inequities
Kriesberg deepens our understanding of how the way conflicts are waged can help to reduce inequities in class, power, and status, particularly with regard to gender and race.
