Civil Resistance: What Everyone should be valuable for academics and activists alike." -- Jessica Maves Braithwaite, International RelationsA major contribution to the human race. - Mary Elizabeth King, Professor, UN University for Peace & Distinguished Rothermere American Institute Fellow, University of OxfordWith violence in the streets and the efficacy of non-violence in question, this book could not be more tragically, propitiously timed. We as a country are literally wrestling with the text, the subtext, and the whole of this book. Civil Resistance speaks to what we need to do and how we need to do it. It gives us historical context, an empirical basis, and moral direction for how to change the world. A critically important book - now - right now. -Cornell William Brooks, Professor, Harvard Kennedy School; Former President & CEO, NAACPThis book is a remarkable achievement, synthesizing up-to-date research, new case accounts, and significant new insights in a way that is accessible to all. Take its title literally. It is a guide for everyone - whether new or with years of experience - to the dynamics of nonviolent movements fighting for rights, freedom, and justice. I highly recommend it. - Hardy Merriman, President & CEO, International Center on Nonviolent Conflict, "Civil Resistance is an absolutely essential book for peace activists and anybody interested in history or in creating a better world.
