Between Mao and Gandhi

The Social Roots of Civil Resistance

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Civil resistance campaigns have proven capable of toppling regimes and bringing about revolutionary political change. But how do dissidents come to embrace a nonviolent strategy in the first place? Thurber examines the social underpinnings of challenger movements to understand how they perceive, evaluate, and decide upon strategies of resistance.
