Strategic Nonviolent Struggle: A Training Manual discusses strategies for embarking on the path of peace by applying nonviolent approaches to resolving issues and conflict. It presents an overview of nonviolent action, including accessible explanations of theories, methods, dynamics, and mechanisms. Case studies from Africa counter the myth that nonviolent action has not been used or has been unsuccessful among the continent’s constituent nations and societies. The work is also a tool for civil society leaders—in youth movements and programmes, churches, athletics, and other areas—who are interested in creating workshops or training programmes on realistic alternatives to armed struggle, and also presents an overview of the effectiveness of nonviolent struggle that can complement the more theoretical ‘Teaching Model: Nonviolent Transformation of Conflict.’
