Street Rebellion [EPUB ebook] 
Resistance Beyond Violence and Nonviolence

Support

The complex relationship between violence and nonviolence in social movements .

 

We are living in a time of uprisings that routinely involve physical confrontation—burning vehicles, barricades, vandalism, and scuffles between protesters and authorities. Yet the Left has struggled to incorporate rioting into theories of change, remaining stuck in recurring debates over violence and nonviolence. Civil resistance studies have popularized the term “strategic nonviolence, ” spreading the notion that violence is wholly counter-productive.
Street Rebellion scrutinizes recent research and develops a broad and grounded portrait of the relationship between strategic nonviolence and rioting in the struggle for liberation.
