Annotation |
... to light the little-known, but powerful roles that civil resistance has played in national liberation struggles throughout the history. Ranging from the American Revolution to Kosovo in the 1990s, from Egypt under colonial rule to present-day West Papua and Palestine, the authors of "Recovering nonoviolent history" consider several key questions: What kinds of civilian-based nonviolent strategy and tactics have been used in liberation struggles? What accounts for their sucesses and failures? Not least, how did nonviolent resistance influence national identities and socioeconomic and political institutions both prior to an after liberation, and why has this history so often been ignored? The story that emerges is a compelling one of the agency of thousands and even millions of ordinary people as they used nonviolent force in the course of struggles against foreign subjugation.
