The U.S. civil rights movement, anti-apartheid protestors in South Africa, and Gandhi’s struggle for Indian freedom are all powerful illustrations of nonviolent action that effectively brought about change. In A Theory of Nonviolent Action, Stellan Vinthagen draws on these examples as well as a rich collection of other historical social events that represent nonviolence movements that combined resistance and constructive change.
With this groundbreaking book, Vinthagen provides the first major systematic attempt to develop a theory of nonviolent action in decades, making this essential reading for anyone involved in the study of nonviolence movements.
