Over the past few weeks we have been reading Peter Gelderloos’ How Nonviolence Protects the State and the discussions have been riveting! This book has both strong points to make in favour of diversity of tactics, but unfortunately, it also has its limitations, which we are unpacking.
We are accessing the text on one of two ways:
- Online: https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/peter-gelderloos-how-nonviolence-protects-the-state
- Buy the Book from the publisher, Detritus: https://detritusbooks.com/products/how-nonviolence-protects-the-state-by-peter-gelderloos
Camas Books made a special order from Detritus already. Thanks to those who participated in this bulk purchase.
Reading Assignments
