This collection of essays by Canadian scholars explores topics such as Gandhi's awareness of Canada; the academic study of Gandhi in Canadian higher education; and dimensions of Gandhi's thought that demand greater attention and have enduring relevance for individuals and communities in Canada. These range from a peace-oriented Islam and participation in direct action campaigns to a more constructive politics and environmental stewardship. This book breaks new ground in the depth of its study of a figure significant for both Canada and the world at large. The themes in this book will be of interest to scholars in Gandhi studies, education, Canadian history, and sociology, as well as to the general reader who seeks to reflect on what traditions of non-violence and conflict resolution championed by Gandhi might contribute to social progress in Canada. 606 $aHommes d'E?tat$zInde$vBiographies$vCongres 606 $aResistance passive$vCongres 606 $aNon-violence$vCongres 606 $aStatesmen$zIndia$vBiography$vCongresses 606 $aPassive resistance$vCongresses 606 $aNonviolence$vCongresses 607 $aCanada$xConditions sociales$vCongres 607 $aCanada$xSocial conditions$vCongresses 608 $aElectronic books. 610 $aGandhi, Mahatma, 1869-1948 610 $aNonviolence 610 $aPassive Resistance 610 $aStatesmen 610 $aIndia 610 $aCanada 610 $aBiography & Autobiography 610 $aPolitical Science 610 $aPsychology 610 $aSocial Science 615 6$aHommes d'E?tat 615 6$aResistance passive 615 6$aNon-violence 615 0$aStatesmen 615 0$aPassive resistance 615 0$aNonviolence 676 $a322.1 702 $aDamm$b Alex$4edt 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910158607603321 996 $aGandhi in a Canadian Context$91999281 997 $aUNINA
