How Nonviolence Protects the State (paperback original)
Peter GelderloosReleased 2007-04-01
Beyond questioning the effectiveness of nonviolent resistance How Nonviolence Protects the State argues that an insistence on only nonviolent tactics reinforces state power. In chapters such as “Nonviolence is Racist” and “Nonviolence is Patriarchal” Peter Gelderloos passionately calls for activist to look beyond easy answers and to mount a real challenge to power. Not a call to arms, but a call to realize that armed resistance cannot be dismissed out-of-hand.
