A stirring look at nonviolent activism, from American suffragists
to Civil Rights to the Climate Change Movement  We Are Power
brings to light the incredible individuals who have used nonviolent
activism to change the world. The book explores questions such as
what is nonviolent resistance and how does it work? In an age when
armies are stronger than ever before, when guns seem to be
everywhere, how can people confront their adversaries without
resorting to violence themselves? Through key international
movements as well as people such as Gandhi, Alice Paul, Martin
Luther King, Cesar Chavez, and Václav Havel, this book discusses
the components of nonviolent resistance. It answers the question
“Why nonviolence?” by showing how nonviolent movements have
succeeded again and again in a variety of ways, in all sorts of
places, and always in the face of overwhelming odds. The book
includes endnotes, a bibliography, and an index.
