About this book This nationally-acclaimed list shows how popular movements used nonviolent action to overthrow dictators, obstruct military invaders and good human rights in country after country, over the past century. Peter Ackerman and Jack DuVall depict how nonviolent sanctions--such as protests, strikes and boycotts--separated brutal regimes from their means of control. They tell inside stories--how Danes outmaneuvered the Nazis, Unification defeated Polish communism, and mass action removed a Chilean dictator--and also how nonviolent power is changing the sphere today, from Burma to Serbia. |

The Lonely Phone Booth When cellular telephones hit town on the scene, a once-popular Manhattan phonebooth becomes shabby and lonely until a power outage reminds everyone of how gainful ... |

About this book This is the narrative of one of the last remaining phone booths in New York City. Everyone used it - from ballerinas and girl scouts, zookeepers and birthday clowns, to cellists and even under cover agents. The Phone Booth was so beloved that people would sometimes wait in line to use it. Kept clean and refined, the Phone Booth was proud and happy... until the day a businessman strode by and shouted into a shiny mellifluent object, "I'll be there in ten minutes!" Soon everyone was talking into these shiny silver things, and the Phone Booth stood alone - empty and left unaccustomed to and dejected. How the Phone Booth saved the day and united the neighborhood to rally around its revival is the heart of this emotional story. In a world in which objects we love and recognize as part of the integral fabric of our lives are disappearing at a expeditious rate, here is a story about the value of the analog, the power of the people's voice, and the care and respect due to those things that have served us well over stretch. |

About this book Nonviolent fray, well planned and implemented, is shown in this lucid, timely, and compelling work to effect dramatic outcomes against opponents utilizing savagery. Ackerman and Kruegler recognize that not all nonviolent efforts meet with success, and they are careful to stress that a nonviolent movement involves great risks as well as opportunities. It is the effectiveness of the strategies employed which will determine whether or not those using nonviolent means can be prevalent against opponents who rely on violence in pursuit of objectives. Twelve strategic principles are established in this book which function as as a conceptual foundation to enhance the prospects of success in nonviolent campaigns. The authors also develop six twentieth-century examples of nonviolent conduct from the early Russian Revolution of 1904-1906 through the Solidarity movement in 1980-1981. Each campaign narrative constitutes a fascinating reading experience and illustrates normal themes, strategies, and important... |
