An innovative study that examines how peaceful, domestic tactics by
individual human rights activists and organizational activists,
with public support, can force an authoritarian regime to make key
concessions. Robert Press explores the creation and impact of a
culture of resistance. He examines how domestic pressure can be
more important than foreign pressure for political reform,
especially in underdeveloped, authoritarian states. This study of
contemporary Kenya fills a gap in traditional social movement
theory to show how a resistance movement actually starts. Contrary
to long-dominant theory, the book shows how the initiative for such
a movement can come from activists themselves in the face of severe
obstacles in society. With its unique findings on the effects of
individual activism and peaceful resistance, this book will attract
a broad audience in the study and practice of international
relations, comparative politics, sociology, interest groups, peace
and conflict, and human rights.
