Description
- Challenging Why Civil Resistance Works: In 2012, with the publication of Erica Chenoweth and Maria J. Stephan's Why Civil Resistance Works: The Strategic Logic of Nonviolent Conflict (Columbia University Press), there was a sea-change in the academic study of civil resistance. Using extensive data, Chenoweth and Stephan claimed to prove that nonviolent struggles were more effective than those that involved violence. That claim has gone largely unchallenged, until now. In Street Rebellion, Benjamin S. Case shows that Why Civil Resistance Works (Columbia University Press), and the subsequent work that relied on it, was based on flawed data and unfounded premises.
- Exploding myth with academic analysis: Street Rebellion provides historical background, critique, empirical evidence, and political analysis of riots as part of the complex tapestry of socio-political struggle.
- College Course Potential.
Ce que les critiques en disent
"For far too long the violence/nonviolence debate has been mired in abstract pontification and muddled terminology. Finally, we have Ben Case's incisive and meticulously researched analysis that captures the contextual utility of violent forms of resistance. Street Rebellion is truly a must-read for every activist and social movement scholar."—Mark Bray, author of Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook
"Street Rebellion strikes a precise blow to the current accepted dichotomy between violence and nonviolence and flips the entire field of civil resistance on its head. Ben Case has eloquently returned riots to their rightful place in the history of modern social movements."—Akin Olla, contributing writer at The Guardian and host of This is the Revolution Podcast
"Benjamin Case's work is critical for understanding the way that movements for liberation are exploding across the globe, and to counter the misinformation that suggests the only path to change is through strict nonviolence. This is one of the most essential books of the year."—Shane Burley, author of Why We Fight and Fascism Today
