This stimulating book examines the causes that have inspired civil disobedience, the justifications used to defend it, disagreements among its practitioners, and the controversies it has aroused at every turn. Tracing the origins of the notion of civil disobedience to eighteenth-century evangelicalism and republicanism, Lewis Perry discusses how the tradition took shape in the actions of black and white abolitionists and antiwar protesters in the decades leading to the Civil War, then found new expression in post-Civil War campaigns for women's equality, temperance, and labor reform. Gaining new strength and clarity from explorations of Thoreau's essays and Gandhi's teachings, the tradition persisted through World War II, grew stronger during the decades of civil rights protest and antiwar struggles, and has been adopted more recently by anti-abortion groups, advocates of same-sex marriage, opponents of nuclear power, and many others. Perry clarifies some of the central implications of civil disobedience that have become blurred in recent times-nonviolence, respect for law, commitment to democratic processes-and throughout the book highlights the dilemmas faced by those who choose to violate laws in the name of a higher morality. 606 $aCivil disobedience 606 $aGovernment, Resistance to 606 $aCivil Rights 606 $aCivil rights demonstrations 615 0$aCivil disobedience. 615 0$aGovernment, Resistance to. 615 0$aCivil Rights. 615 0$aCivil rights demonstrations. 676 $a303.6/10973 700 $aPerry$b Lewis$f1938-2022,$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01132373 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910790666003321 996 $aCivil disobedience$93793971 997 $aUNINA
