Wendy Pearlman shows that much of the answer lies inside movements themselves. Nonviolent protest requires coordination and restraint, which only a cohesive movement can provide. When, by contrast, a movement is fragmented, factional competition generates new incentives for violence and authority structures are too weak to constrain escalation. Pearlman reveals these patterns across one hundred years in the Palestinian national movement, with comparisons to South Africa and Northern Ireland. To those who ask why there is no Palestinian Gandhi, Pearlman demonstrates that nonviolence is not simply a matter of leadership. Nor is violence attributable only to religion, emotions, or stark instrumentality. Instead, a movement's organizational structure mediates the strategies that it employs. By taking readers on a journey from civil disobedience to suicide bombings, this book offers fresh insight into the dynamics of conflict and mobilization"-- $c Provided by publisher. 651 0 $a Palestine $x Autonomy and independence movements. $x Autonomy and independence movements. 650 0 $a Arab-Israeli conflict. 650 0 $a Nationalism $z Palestine $x History. 650 0 $a Violence $z Palestine $x History. 650 0 $a Nationalism. 650 0 $a Nonviolence. 941 $a 3 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20230718090435.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160825040559.0 952 $l OIAX792 $d 20130108010755.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2B5F5252596111E28EE4DFB6DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
