{"product_id":"breaking-laws-isabelle-sommier-9789089649348","title":"Breaking Laws: Violence and Civil Disobedience in Protest","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eBreaking Laws: Violence and Civil Disobedience in Protest\u003c\/i\u003e questions the complex relationship between social movements and violence through two contrasted lenses; first through the short-lived radical left wing post '68 revolutionary violence, and secondly in the present diffusion of civil disobedience actions, often at the border between non-violence and violence. This book shows how and why violence occurs or does not, and what different meanings it can take. The short-lived extreme left revolutionary groups that grew out of May '68 and the opposition to the Vietnam War (such as the German Red Army Faction, the Italian Red Brigades, and the Japanese Red Army) are without any doubt on the violent side. More ambiguous are the burgeoning contemporary forms of civil disobedience, breaking the law with the aim of changing it. In theory, these efforts are associated with non-violence and self-restraint. In practice, the line is more difficult to trace, as much depends on how political players define and frame non-violence and political legitimacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Isabelle Sommier,Graeme Hayes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9089649344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789089649348\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/30\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.20w x 0.80d","brand":"Isabelle Sommier","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48089132269823,"sku":"9789089649348","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e752a2ba-9ee6-44db-8bd3-19f2f8f8e66f.jpg?v=1769108368","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/breaking-laws-isabelle-sommier-9789089649348","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
