  • Apr's Gandhi. Un Si'cle de R'Sistance Non Violente

    Anne Sibley

    Paperback (Sorbier, April 2, 2010)
    Seize portraits d''hommes et de femmes d''exception qui, au cours du XXe siècle, se sont levés pour protester de façon non violente contre l''injustice et l''oppression. Ou comment « un petit groupe d''esprits déterminés animé par une foi inébranlable dans sa mission peut changer le cours de l''histoire. » (Gandhi)Un siècle après, le mouvement de résistance non-violente initié par Gandhi est intacte. En entraînant à grande échelle un soulèvement opposant à l''Empire britannique des dizaines de miliers de personnes uniquement armées de leur corps, de leur âme et de leur volonté, Gandhi défia la force militaire qui occupait son pays depuis trois cents ans. Le monde n''avait jamais rien vu de tel.Sur son exemple, tout au long du xxe siècle, des hommes et des femmes se levèrent à leur tour pour protester de façon non-violente contre l''injustice. Rosa Parks ou Martin Luther King aux États-Unis, Nelson Mandela en Afrique du Sud, les « Folles de la place de Mai » en Argentine, Aung San Suu Kyi en Birmanie, les étudiants de la place Tienanmen en Chine ou Wangari Maathai au Kenya, tous ont contribué, par leur action, à renverser des gouvernements, remettre en question des lois injustes et à reconstruire des sociétés.Cet ouvrage brosse le portrait de quelques-unes des figures majeures de la résistance. S''intéressant à différentes causes, cultures et périodes historiques, ces récits informeront et inspireront une nouvelle génération de citoyens.
