Counterpower by Tim Gee
This timely book argues that no major movement has ever been successful without counterpower, or the power that the have-nots can use to remove the power of the haves.
Investigating the history and tactics of major movements of the past and today's global justice and human rights movements, Tim Gee demonstrates what works and what doesn't work. In showing how counterpower can be strategically applied, Gee has created an inspiration for activists and an invaluable resource for teachers and students of social change.
