| Summary: | In 'Ripples of hope,' Robert M. Press tells the stories of mothers, students, teachers, journalists, attorneys and many others who courageously stood up for freedom and human rights against repressive rulers and who helped bring about change through primarily nonviolent means. Press surveys individual and group protests in countries affected by war and unrest, including Kenya, Argentina, Liberia and Sierra Leone. A tribute to the strength of the human spirit, Ripples of Hope breaks new ground in social movement theories, revealing how people, both on their own and in small groups, can make a difference. |
