Synopsis

In the early 1980s, Allan Cumming wrote two short essays published as Understanding Nonviolence and How Nonviolence Works. These have been revised and integrated into this new volume with the original and additional photographs.The essays were produced in response to the 1981 Springbok Tour of New Zealand, where a lack of understanding of the dynamics and images of violence within the campaign affected the outcome of the protests. It was written to improve the understanding of nonviolence in the many environmental and anti-nuclear groups active at the time.Today, the environmental movement has emerged stronger than ever in the face of the threat of global warming. Active nonviolence has become the norm with groups such as the school strike movement and Extinction Rebellion demonstrating around the world. Once again a new generation of activists has taken up the challenge of nonviolent direct action, and this book is offered in the hope it will be of some use to them.
