This Extraordinarily Important Book Cuts To The Heart Of One Of The Central Reasons Movements To Bring About Social And Environmental Justice Always Fail. The Fundamental Question Here Is: Is Violence Ever An Acceptable Tool To Help Bring About Social Change? This Is Probably The Most Important Question Of Our Time, Yet So Often Discussions Around It Fall Into Clichs And Magical Thinking: That Somehow If We Are Merely Good And Nice Enough People, The State Will Stop Using Its Violence To Exploit Us All. Would That This Were True.Derrick Jensen, Author Of Endgame, From The Introduction.Pacifism, The Ideology Of Nonviolent Political Resistance, Has Been The Norm Among Mainstream North American Progressive Groups For Decades. But To What End? Ward Churchill Challenges The Pacifist Movements Heralded Victoriesgandhi In India, 1960S Antiwar Activists, Even Martin Luther Kings Civil Rights Movementsuggesting That Their Success Was In Spite Of, Rather Than Because Of, Their Nonviolent Tactics. Pacifism As Pathologywas Written As A Response Not Only To Churchills Frustration With His Own Activist Experience, But Also To A Debate Raging In The Activist And Academic Communities.
