In Disobedience and Democracy, the inimitable leftist thinker Howard Zinn lays out a clear and dynamic case for civil disobedience and protest as legitimate vehicles for social change. Zinn challenges the dominant arguments against forms of protest that challenge the status quo. He solidifies his argument, exploring the politics of direct action, nonviolent civil disobedience and strikes, while also offering lessons for protestors of the present and future generations. This book is a passionate, humanist argument for group-led change.
Howard Zinn: Howard Zinn (1922-2010) was a historian, playwright, and activist. He wrote the classic A People's History of the United States, a brilliant and moving history of the American people from the point of view of those whose plight has been largely omitted from most histories.
