Praise for "Blueprint for Revolution"
The title is no exaggeration. Otpor s methods . . . have been adopted by democracy movements around the world. The Egyptian opposition used them to topple Hosni Mubarak. In Lebanon, the Serbs helped the Cedar Revolution extricate the country from Syrian control. In Maldives, their methods were the key to overthrowing a dictator who had held power for thirty years. In many other countries, people have used what Canvas teaches to accomplish other political goals, such as fighting corruption or protecting the environment. "The New York Times"
A clear, well-constructed, and easily applicable set of principles for any David facing any Goliath (sans slingshot, of course). . . By the end of"Blueprint, " the idea that a punch is no match for a punch line feels like anything but a joke. "The Boston Globe"
An entertaining primer on the theory and practice of peaceful protest. "The Guardian"
With this wonderful book, Srdja Popovic is inspiring ordinary people facing injustice and oppression to use this tool kit to challenge their oppressors and create something much better. When I was growing up, we dreamed that young people could bring down those who misused their power and create a more just and democratic society. For Srdja Popovic, living in Belgrade in 1998, this same dream was potentially a much more dangerous idea. But with an extraordinarily courageous group of students that formed Otpor , Srdja used imagination, invention, cunning, and lots of humor to create a movement that not only succeeded in toppling the brutal dictator Slobodan Milo evi but has become a blueprint for nonviolent revolution around the world. Srdja rules Peter Gabriel
"Blueprint for Revolution "is not only a spirited guide to changing the world but a breakthrough in the annals of advice for those who seek justice and democracy. It asks (and not heavy-handedly): As long as you want to change the world, why not do it joyfully? It s not just funny. It s seriously funny. No joke. Todd Gitlin, author of "The Sixties "and "Occupy Nation""
