Social Entrepreneurship in the Age of Atrocities is a bold work of definition and analyses. It presents both concepts and histories – focused on individuals and groups – in response to mass violence and atrocities. This significant study, edited by Zachary Kaufman, is a work of clarification and inspiration.
This book makes an all too rare and important point: One of the distinguishing characteristics of social entrepreneurs is the way their actions and their example pave the way for peace. Kaufman gives us multiple examples here to demonstrate that the kind of empathetic leadership exhibited by these social entrepreneurs builds an alternative to conflict and contributes to the stability and security of societies.”
