Learning from the active nonviolence campaigns around the world.
Nonviolence comes into its own when it comes off the theoretical drawing board into the arena of struggle and cooperation, when it becomes a guiding principle of our life. The enormous, rich history of nonviolence worldwide has long been ignored in education, business, and of course conflict. To recover that history is much more than an academic exercise, however.
