Volume two of A Guide to Civil Resistance seeks to provide an introduction to the history of major social movements--including Occupy and the Global Justice Movement, major green campaigns, peace and antiwar resistance, and feminist and LGBT struggles--over the last 70 years, and to signpost contemporary developments in these movements. It provides brief background summaries and a range of references from movement periodicals and websites, scholarly journals, and books by activists as well as academic studies. With emphasis on nonviolent action and protest, the reference includes material on conventional political action and legal action, as well as literature providing some general historical and theoretical background.

A Guide to Civil Resistance

In discussions about people power or nonviolent action, most people will immediately think of Gandhi or Martin Luther King, a few will recall the end of the Marcos regime in the Philippines in the mid-1980s, and some others will remember or have heard of the Prague Spring nearly two decades earlier. Moreover, for most activists and others involved in peace action and movements for social change, there will be little knowledge of the theories of nonviolent action and still less of the huge number of actions taken in so many countries and in such different circumstances across the world. Even recent events across the Middle East are rarely put in a broader historical context. Although the focus of this book is on post-1945 movements, the opening section provides a wide-ranging introduction to the history and theoretical bases of nonviolent action, and reflects the most recent contributions to the literature, citing key reference works.
