What is the basis for choosing a nonviolent response to conflict
and violence? By presenting and analyzing some of the most
significant answers that have been given to this question
throughout history, this anthology of writings from both Western
and nonwestern traditions proposes principled and strategic
nonviolence as a realistic alternative. It includes a selection of
historical sources on nonviolence--ranging from the Bhagavad-Gita
to the Bible--as well as a wide range of writings by authors such
as Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Nelson Mandela, who have
contributed to both the theory and the practice of nonviolence.
Besides tracing the historical development of the concept, this
volume also suggests ways of applying nonviolence to our everyday
lives in the first decade of the 21st century, which the United
Nations General Assembly has declared to be the Decade for
Education for a Culture of Peace and Nonviolence.
