Nonviolence Ain’t What It Used To Be

Both a critique and a rethinking of standard notions of “nonviolence,” Nonviolence Ain’t What It Used To Be offers an innovative look at challenges faced by twenty-first-century social movements in the US and the shifting, increasingly militant tactics through which they’ve tried to address them. Meckfessel compares today’s militant protests—from Occupy to Ferguson—with those of previous eras, mapping differences and predicting future developments.
