Towards a history of non-violence resistance
By: Hardiman, David.
Material type:
ArticlePublisher: 2013Description: p.41-48.Subject(s): Non violence
In:
Economic and Political WeeklySummary: Following on from Gandhi, peace activists have created a large body of work on the strategy of non-violent protest that brings out both its strengths and advantages over and above violent insurrection. This literature has not, however, constructed a convincing history of the non-violent method. Most have depicted it as a timeless phenomenon, found in all historical societies in one form or another. Rather, it is, as this essay suggests, a method rooted in modernity, arising out of a particular strategic reaction to the coercive and legal apparatuses of the modern state. - Reproduced.
