A Quiet Revolution

"A Quiet Revolution" by Jimmy Carter and Mary King explores the nonviolent roots of the first Palestinian Intifada, debunking the prevailing notion that violence defined the movement. King emphasizes the role played by women's committees and traces the evolution of the uprising from peaceful protest to tragic violence. She argues that nonviolent strategies offer the only real path to lasting peace, drawing on the history of non-violent movements to make her case. With "A Quiet Revolution," King seeks to revive the residual knowledge of the power of nonviolent resistance and pave the way for a negotiated settlement.
