“An amazing documentary history of modern nonviolence, a book that needs to see the light of day.”—Chip Hauss, Senior Fellow for Innovation at the Alliance for Peacebuilding
These readings on the theory and practice of nonviolence come from classic figures like Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr., contemporary theorists like Gene Sharp and Erica Chenoweth, activists like Dorothy Day and Cesar Chavez, and prophetic figures from across the world and from diverse religious traditions. Together, these truth seekers present a body of wisdom and practical experience that point the way to peace, justice, and reconciliation.
