Description
The idea of nonviolent resistance is still as essential and almost
as radical today as it was when Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948) first
pioneered in India the protest of political tyranny-in his case against
British colonialism-through massive displays of civil disobedience.
Gandhi's ideas of peaceful protest went on to inspire the marches and
sit-ins of the American Civil Rights movement and continue to be the
foundations for political and social demonstrations around the world.

This biography by leading scholar Douglas Allen presents a new and
challenging approach to understanding Gandhi's life-the time in which he
lived, how he shaped history, and how his philosophy and practices can
be reformulated in ways that are significant and effective today. Allen
analyzes his continuing relevance by addressing key issues of truth and
ethics, violence and nonviolence, equality and freedom, as well as ideas
of exploitation, oppression, religious conflict, and environmental
crises.

Allen provides a much needed new perspective on Gandhi that allows
us to rethink our basic values and priorities. By helping us understand
Gandhi's life and message, he creates a new paradigm for evaluating
truth, nonviolence, peace, and morality; and he offers new criteria for
assessing our modern approach to standards of living, development,
progress, and meaningful human existence.
