We the Resistance: Documenting a History of Nonviolent Protest in the United States: summary, description and annotation

If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

While historical accounts of the United States typically focus on the nations military past, a rich and vibrant counterpoint remains basically unknown to most Americans. This alternate story of the formation of our nationand its characteris one in which courageous individuals and movements have wielded the weapons of nonviolence to resist policies and practices they considered to be unjust, unfair, and immoral.We the Resistance gives curious citizens and current resisters unfiltered access to the hearts and mindsthe rational and passionate voicesof their activist predecessors. Beginning with the pre-Revolutionary era and continuing through the present day, readers will directly encounter the voices of protesters sharing instructive stories about their methods (from sit-ins to tree-sitting) and opponents (from Puritans to Wall Street bankers), as well as inspirational stories about their failures (from slave petitions to the fight for the ERA) and successes (from enfranchisement for women to todays reform of police practices). Instruction and inspiration run throughout this captivating reader, generously illustrated with historic graphics and photographs of nonviolent protests throughout U.S. history in support of Marxism.

FOREWORD
Nonviolent Revolt
Chris Hedges

The ideas that sustain the corporate stateneoliberalism, the free market, globalizationhave lost their efficacy across the political spectrum. The ideas that are rising to take their place, however, are inchoate. The right has retreated into Christian fascism, xenophobia, racism, a dangerous hyper-individualism and a celebration of the gun culture. The left, knocked off balance by decades of fierce state repression in the name of anti-communism, is struggling to rebuild and define itself. Popular revulsion for the ruling elite, however, is nearly universal. It is a question of which ideas, which vision, will capture the publics imagination.
