The more than fifty resistance movements and sub-movements featured here make this the radical's guide to restoring our rights, saving our planet, and creating lasting change. From mid-nineteenth century Chinese rebellions against colonial exploitation and ecological disasters to the Grassy Narrows' fight against mercury poisoning and colonialism to the Stonewall riots and parades for LGBTQ rights to Black Lives Matter, these two volumes are some of the only books on activism that actually cover resistance, not just passive, risk-averse modes of activism. In Volume 1 we learn why we need resistance movements, how movements - such as the Deacons of Defense of the American Civil Rights Movement - fight when they want to win, and what makes movements effective.
