Freedom Without Violence

Resisting the Western Political Tradition

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Freedom Without Violence offers a critical appraisal of the conventional wisdom that violence is required for liberation and the defense of freedom. Comparing the broad span of violent revolutions with the history of non-violent social movements, the book shows that freedom is indelibly tied to the means used to achieve and defend it.
