In Resistance is NOT Futile: Exploring Philosophical and Social Science Theories of Civil Resistance, Daniel Petz provides the starting base to understand the importance of civil resistance in our current world. He delves into the philosophical roots and the debates that have shaped modern forms of civil resistance and links them with the latest insights in civil resistance studies. He then discusses a broad number of topics linked to civil resistance including questions of legitimate authority and civil disobedience, the boundaries of violence and nonviolence, methods of civil resistance, maximalist, reformist, and systemic nonviolence, Global South and Majority perspectives on civil resistance, nonviolent defense, right-wing use of nonviolence, and the escalating struggle of the climate movement.
A valuable resource written for both scholars and students in philosophy and social sciences in mind, Resistance is NOT Futile aims at bridging the disciplinary gap that exists between these fields. The book should also be of interest to activists who wish to deepen their understanding of scholarly debates on civil resistance, as well as the general public interested in the historical, philosophical, and political dimensions of civil resistance.
