Description
Summary:	Shon Meckfessel takes an innovative look at challenges faced by twenty-first-century social movements. One of the most important stumbling blocks is the question of violence. Nonviolence Ain't What It Used to Be maps the emerging, more militant approaches that seem to be developing to fill the gap, from Occupy to Ferguson. It offers new angles on a seemingly intractable debate, introducing terms and criteria that carve out a larger middle-ground between the two camps, in order to chart a path forward.
