How do ordinary people become revolutionaries? In 2000,
too-cool-to-care Belgrade rock kid Srdja Popovic found himself at
the centre of a movement which was about to change the world.
Popovic was one of the unexpected leaders of the student movement
Otpor! that overthrew dictator Slobodan Milosevic and established
democracy in Serbia — all by avoiding violence and opting for
something far more powerful: a sense of humour. In this inspiring
and entertaining guide for would-be activists, he tells his story
and those of other ‘ordinary revolutionaries’ who have created
real social change using non-violent techniques. Now the director
of an organisation that helps to train pro-democracy activists,
Popovic has worked with some of the most significant movements of
our times, including the architects of the Arab Spring. Through
examples such as a protest of Lego men in Siberia (when
flesh-and-blood people would have been shot), and a boycott of
cottage cheese in Israel to challenge price inflation, Popovic
tells stories of the true and sometimes ingeniously clever ways in
which non-violent resistance has achieved its means. From Occupy
Wall Street to Tahrir Square, and from Nelson Mandela to Harvey
Milk, the tales Popovic tells are hilarious, accessible, inspiring,
at times outrageous, and always about ordinary people achieving
extraordinary things.
