Download or read book World Protests written by Isabel Ortiz and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-11-03 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an open access book. The start of the 21st century has seen the world shaken by protests, from the Arab Spring to the Yellow Vests, from the Occupy movement to the social uprisings in Latin America. There are periods in history when large numbers of people have rebelled against the way things are, demanding change, such as in 1848, 1917, and 1968. Today we are living in another time of outrage and discontent, a time that has already produced some of the largest protests in world history. This book analyzes almost three thousand protests that occurred between 2006 and 2020 in 101 countries covering over 93 per cent of the world population. The study focuses on the major demands driving world protests, such as those for real democracy, jobs, public services, social protection, civil rights, global justice, and those against austerity and corruption. It also analyzes who was demonstrating in each protest; what protest methods they used; who the protestors opposed; what was achieved; whether protests were repressed; and trends such as inequality and the rise of women’s and radical right protests. The book concludes that the demands of protestors in most of the protests surveyed are in full accordance with human rights and internationally agreed-upon UN development goals. The book calls for policy-makers to listen and act on these demands.

Download or read book We the Resistance written by Michael G. Long and published by City Lights Books. This book was released on 2021-01-29 with total page 526 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A highly relevant, inclusive collection of voices from the roots of resistance. . . . Empowering words to challenge, confront, and defy."--Kirkus Reviews "This book fights fascism. This books offers hope. We The Resistance is essential reading for those who wish to understand how popular movements built around nonviolence have changed the world and why they retain the power to do so again."—Jonathan Eig, author of Ali: A Life "This comprehensive documentary history of non-violent resisters and resistance movements is an inspiring antidote to any movement fatigue or pessimism about the value of protest. It tells us we can learn from the past as we confront the present and hope to shape the future. Read, enjoy and take courage knowing you are never alone in trying to create a more just world. Persevere and persist and win, but know that even losing is worth the fight and teaches lessons for later struggles."—Mary Frances Berry, author of History Teaches Us to Resist: How Progressive Movements Have Succeeded in Challenging Times "We the Resistance illustrates the deeply rooted, dynamic, and multicultural history of nonviolent resistance and progressive activism in North America and the United States. With a truly comprehensive collection of primary sources, it becomes clear that dissent has always been a central feature of American political culture and that periods of quiescence and consensus are aberrant rather than the norm. Indeed, the depth and breadth of resistant and discordant voices in this collection is simply outstanding."—Leilah Danielson, author of American Gandhi: A.J. Muste and the History of American Radicalism in the Twentieth Century While historical accounts of the United States typically focus on the nation's military past, a rich and vibrant counterpoint remains basically unknown to most Americans. This alternate story of the formation of our nation—and its character—is 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 minds—the rational and passionate voices—of 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 today's 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.

Book Synopsis The People’s Plaza by : Justin Jones
Download or read book The People’s Plaza written by Justin Jones and published by Vanderbilt University Press. This book was released on 2022-08-15 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From June 12, 2020, until the passage of the state law making the occupation a felony two months later, peaceful protesters set up camp at Nashville's Legislative Plaza and renamed it for Ida B. Wells. Central to the occupation was Justin Jones, a student of Fisk University and Vanderbilt Divinity School whose place at the forefront of the protests brought him and the occupation to the attention of the Tennessee state troopers, state and US senators, and Governor Bill Lee. The result was two months of solidarity in the face of rampant abuse, community in the face of state-sponsored terror, and standoff after standoff at the doorsteps of the people's house with those who claimed to represent them. In this, his first book, Jones describes those two revolutionary months of nonviolent resistance against a police state that sought to dehumanize its citizens. The People's Plaza is a rumination on the abuse of power, and a vision of a more just, equitable, anti-racist Nashville—a vision that kept Jones and those with him posted on the plaza through intense heat, unprovoked arrests, vandalism, theft, and violent suppression. It is a first-person account of hope, a statement of intent, and a blueprint for nonviolent resistance in the American South and elsewhere.

This book was released on 2023-07-18 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Voices of the Path: Great Civil Rights Activists" takes readers on an inspiring journey through the lives of remarkable individuals who have indelibly shaped history. These Black activists have demonstrated the immense power of collective action in the relentless fight for justice and equality. From the iconic figures of Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks to the often overlooked but equally significant leaders like Olaudah Equiano and Sojourner Truth, their struggles and achievements have left an indelible mark on society. Through their impassioned speeches, courageous protests, and selfless sacrifices, they have paved the way for the advancement of racial equality. As we immerse ourselves in this book, we are compelled to reflect upon the persistent inequalities that plague our society. These activists serve as a poignant reminder that the fight for civil rights is an ongoing battle, and it is the responsibility of each generation to actively combat racism and discrimination. The diverse strategies and perspectives employed by these visionary leaders challenge us to critically examine our own roles in the creation of a just and equitable society. Their stories inspire us to become agents of change, drawing strength and inspiration from their unwavering courage. While "Voices of the Path" represents a multitude of voices, it is important to acknowledge the countless other activists whose stories are not captured within these pages due to limitations of space. We honor their invaluable contributions and recognize that history is replete with remarkable individuals who have dedicated their lives to the pursuit of justice and equality. May the stories within this book resonate deeply within us, serving as a constant reminder that true change begins with each and every one of us. Let us celebrate the activists whose stories are presented here and, in doing so, remember and honor all those who have fought tirelessly for civil rights. Together, we can continue the noble struggle for a brighter and more inclusive future.
