Within
westernized societies, particularly the United States, there
has been a
near universal acceptance that nonviolent action has been the
foundation on which the progress and/or success of political
and social justice movements has been built. Yet, contrary
to popular beliefs held by many in the United States, political
violence has played a crucial role in advancing historical
justice struggles.
In this breakthrough study,
Rosebraugh examines the historical roles that both nonviolence
and political violence have played
in social and political movements both in the United States
and internationally. His profound and well-researched
conclusions
advocate for the necessity of a political and social revolution
in the United States - using any means necessary.
The Logic of Political Violence is an excellent resource for
those contemplating political and social change in the United
States. It is a must read for everyone involved in U.S. political
and social movements, especially for those wondering why single
issue pursuits rarely, if ever, are ultimately successful.
Challenging the predominant societal norms on the political
and social change process in the United States, Rosebraugh
has made an important contribution to the struggle that may
very well become the new American Revolution.
