> anti-apartheid in South Africa and the people power movement in the
> Philippines with the failures of the pro-democracy movement in China
> and the anti-regime challenge in Burma. Unarmed Insurrections looks at

> ?For too long the study of nonviolence has been oddly disconnected
> from the broader study of social movements and revolutions. With this

> greatly enriching both in the process.? ?Doug McAdam
