Description

Examining history’s great social resistance movements, renowned activist José Bové and journalist Gilles Luneau offer a clear, focused manifesto for championing a just cause. Inspired by non-violent leaders such as Thoreau, Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King, Jr., Cesar Chavez, and Gandhi, they urge social activists to brave the political status quo in order to effect change. This provocative argument in favor of meaningful civil disobedience will surely strike a chord in American society today.
