But, I would still recommend it because, despite the flaws, I really enjoyed it for its elaborate, high-paced plot. Had the writing flowed a little more and the dialogue been more natural, I would've definitely given this book five stars. There were lots of lines that I thought were cheesy or robotic and that pulled me out of the story. The dialogue often felt really unnatural (especially when it came to Bruce and his friends). Normally, I really enjoy Marie Lu's writing style, but this book was different than her other work. But, what kept me from giving this book five stars was the writing style.

Many North American activists fail to scrutinize the role of nonviolence, never posing essential questions: In a call bound to stir controversy and lively debate, Peter Gelderloos invites activists to consider diverse tactics, passionately arguing that exclusive nonviolence often acts to reinforce the same structures of oppression that activists seek to overthrow.Ĭontemporary movements for social change face plenty of difficult questions, but sometimes matters of strategy and tactics receive low priority. How Nonviolence Protects the State challenges the belief that nonviolence is the only way to fight for a better world. Today protest is often shaped by cooperation with state authorities-even organizers of rallies against police brutality apply for police permits, and anti-imperialists usually stop short of supporting self-defense and armed resistance. Since the civil rights era, the doctrine of nonviolence has enjoyed near-universal acceptance by the US Left. |
