      abstract = {This book contributes to key debates in peacebuilding by  exploring the role of theatre and art in general.  Premaratna argues that the dialogical and multi-voiced  nature of theatre is particularly suited to assisting  societies coming to terms with conflict and opening up  possibilities for conversation. These are important parts  of the peacebuilding process. The book engages the  conceptual links between theatre and peacebuilding and then  offers an in-depth empirical exploration of how three South  Asian theatre groups approach peacebuilding: Jana Karaliya  in Sri Lanka, Jana Sanskriti in India, and Sarwanam in  Nepal. The ensuing reflections offer insights that are  relevant to both students and practitioners concerned with  issues of peace and conflict. Nilanjana Premaratna is a  Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Zurich,  Switzerland. She studied at the University of Queensland,  Australia and her research and publications engage with  art, peacebuilding, and politics.},
