Description

The Cambridge Companion to Civil Disobedience by William E. Scheuerman The theory and practice of civil disobedience have taken on renewed importance in recent times, as individuals and groups seek alternative forms of political action. This Companion brings together an interdisciplinary group of scholars to re-examine civil disobedience from various perspectives. The book explores the concept of civil disobedience, its effectiveness, and its impact, as well as the legacies of influential figures such as Henry Thoreau, Mahatma Gandhi, and Martin Luther King. The contributors examine the ways in which civil disobedience has been practiced in different contexts, including the rise of "digital disobedients" and protests against authoritarian regimes. The book also considers the role of civil disobedience in shaping public discourse and influencing social change. By systematically examining the concept of civil disobedience, this Companion provides a comprehensive understanding of its significance and relevance in contemporary politics.
