I read this for a continuing edu course on movement chaplaincy. It’s a essential history of nonviolent organizing from a U.S. context and a great tribute to Lawson’s cross-movement commitment to liberation. A really enlightening, scholarly read.

(3.5) - Very good for what it is but a little misleading as far as what I was expecting. I was thinking I was getting a download of information from Rev. Lawson, a wise elder from the Southern Freedom Movement. This book could be more closely described as case studies in how the philosophy of nonviolence employed during the Southern Freedom Movement has been adapted to fit other campaigns. The profiles on the campaigns were detailed and introduced key organizations and figures in different types of organizing over the last 60 or so years. Good information for people who want to know the history and identify effective tools for direct action. Glad I read it!
