Most Americans can recite the names of famous generals and historic
battles. Some can also name champions of nonviolence like Martin
Luther King Jr., or recall the struggles for peace and justice that
run like a thread through U.S. history. But little attention is
paid to the intellectual tradition of nonviolence. Ira Chernus
surveys the evolution of this powerful idea from the Colonial Era
up to today, focusing on representative movements (Anabaptists,
Quakers, Anarchists, Progressives) and key individuals (Thoreau,
Reinhold Niebuhr, Dorothy Day, A.J. Muste, King, Barbara Deming),
including non-Americans like Mohandas Gandhi or Thich Nhat Hanh,
who have helped form the idea of nonviolence in the United States.
American Nonviolence offers an essential guide for both students
and activists.
