In this book, twelve scholar-activist interviewees share perspectives and effective practices that destabilize traditional rationalizations of violence, including those from the institutions and practices of a dominant Christian theology. The author calls on communities committed to (non)violence to invest in a model for social change which: 1) ROOTS ITSELF IN CONTEXTUAL, HISTORICAL ANALYSIS; 2) INCLUDES OTHER-THAN-HUMAN LIVES AS NECESSARY PARTNERS; 3) VALUES PRACTICES THAT DISMANTLE VIOLENCE OVER THEOLOGICAL ABSTRACTIONS; 4) EMPHASIZES CREATIVE COMMUNITIES OF ACTIVE, COUNTER-CULTURAL RESISTANCE OVER INDIVIDUALISM; 5) EXPERIMENTS WITH DIVERSE, DISRUPTIVE TACTICS; AND 6) URGES A SELF-CRITICAL SOLIDARITY THAT WELCOMES DIFFERENCES REGARDING VARIOUS MEANS OF SOCIAL CHANGE.
