Recenzii
We may feel more divided than ever, but this volume gives perspective to the multitude of times in human history when deep divisions have characterized our world and shows how nonviolence was used to bridge those divides. If you are looking to turn your students on to the study of nonviolence, this is the book for you. The incisive case studies included reveal the truly global nature of nonviolent social change. This is an accessible study that considers many angles from which to explore the who, what, when, and why of nonviolence.
War No More is a well-researched examination book on nonviolent approach to conflicts. Michael Duffey has painstakingly examined the philosophies and actions taken by groups all over the world to bring a peaceful resolution to conflict. This is a must-read for all who live peace.
In his most timely War No More: An Introduction to Nonviolent Struggles for Justice, Duffey joins his unwavering dedication as an educator and life-long commitment to nonviolent activism as an instrument in peacemaking and building a nonviolent culture, particularly in the United States.
This book takes the reader on a thematic journey through a variety of successful nonviolent struggles in the hope of inspiring new ones. It is an important addition to the growing literature in the field.
Duffey's work challenges the inevitability of violence as he examines war's devastation. Duffey explores successful nonviolent movements across the globe while specifically addressing the role of nonviolent activism against the violence of United States' foreign and domestic interventions. This approach challenges students and instructors to re-examine existing assumptions about violence and considers the power and pragmatism of nonviolence, including on a personal level. Duffey's work is essential reading for those considering the possibilities of peace in a twenty-first century world.
Duffey's primer on nonviolence could hardly be timelier. It is thoughtful, readable, and eminently practical. Highly recommended.
The presumption that nonviolence cannot work is usually taken as a given. The given then becomes a necessity. In response to that presumption, Duffey offers us case studies to enliven our imaginations that makes possible our ability to see peace.
Even if you are familiar with many of Duffey's case studies, you will value his insights and contemporary applications. Ring the church bells. We have an alternative to war.
