In this ground-breaking and much-needed book, Stellan Vinthagen
provides the first major systematic attempt to develop a theory of
nonviolent action since Gene Sharp's seminal The Politics of
Nonviolent Action in 1973. Employing a rich collection of
historical and contemporary social movements from various parts of
the world as examples - from the civil rights movement in America
to anti-Apartheid protestors in South Africa to Gandhi and his
followers in India - and addressing core theoretical issues
concerning nonviolent action in an innovative, penetrating way,
Vinthagen argues for a repertoire of nonviolence that combines
resistance and construction. Contrary to earlier research, this
repertoire - consisting of dialogue facilitation, normative
regulation, power breaking and utopian enactment - is shown to be
both multidimensional and contradictory, creating difficult
contradictions within nonviolence, while simultaneously providing
its creative and transformative force. An important contribution in
the field, A Theory of Nonviolent Action is essential for anyone
involved with nonviolent action who wants to think about what they
are doing.
