"From Gandhi's movement to win Indian independence to the Arab Spring uprising of
2011, an expanding number of citizens have used nonviolent action to achieve political
goals. While such events have captured the public imagination, they have also generated
a surge of scholarly interest in the field of nonviolence and civil resistance. In
Nonviolent Struggle, Sharon Erickson Nepstad provides a comprehensive introduction
to the field, detailing its genesis, key concepts and debates, and a summary of empirical
findings. Nepstad depicts the strategies and dynamics at play in nonviolent struggles
and analyzes the factors that shape the trajectory and outcome of civil resistance
movements. She also describes both principled and pragmatic nonviolent traditions
and explains various categories of nonviolent action. The book draws on a wide range
of historical examples, including the U.S. civil rights movement, the Indonesian uprising
against President Suharto, the French Huguenot resistance during world War II, and
Cesar Chavez's United Farm Workers."--Back cover
