Beskrivning
In the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, nonviolent movements for justice have succeeded where violent campaigns have failed. This book examines fourteen cases—eleven movements that succeeded and three that have, until now, failed—and shows why nonviolent strategies work, drawing on the thought of practitioners and theorists. Later chapters examine violent U.S. interventions abroad and at home, as well as citizen movements for nonviolent conflict resolution.As an introduction to nonviolent movements, this text engages students in recent events from the news as well as the history of modern warfare. Bringing in philosophical and religious texts from a diverse set of traditions, author Michael K. Duffey offers a multifaceted argument for embracing nonviolent solutions to conflict.

Recensioner i media

We may feel more divided than ever, but this volume gives perspective to the multitude of times in human history when deep divisions have characterized our world and shows how nonviolence was used to bridge those divides. If you are looking to turn your students on to the study of nonviolence, this is the book for you. The incisive case studies included reveal the truly global nature of nonviolent social change. This is an accessible study that considers many angles from which to explore the who, what, when, and why of nonviolence.
