Why read it?
1 author picked Harmony Ideology as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

It was reading this book that made me aware how peace can be used as control, how colonialism works in order to preserve the status quo of injustices through ideologies of peace and harmony. But who said that peace is always what is needed, or harmony not conflict is the best ideal in societies?

From Mayssoun's list on The best books on cities and travelling ideas.
