Gandhi's Way Summary

Gandhi's Way: A Handbook of Conflict Resolution by Mark Juergensmeyer

Gandhi's Way provides a primer of Mahatma Gandhi's principles of moral action and conflict resolution. It offers a straightforward, step-by-step approach that can be used in any conflict situation - at home or in business; in local, national, or international arenas. Juergensmeyer sets out Gandhi's basic methods and illustrates them with practical examples to show how parties at odds can rise above self-interest to find resolutions that are satisfying and beneficial to all involved.

Gandhi's Way Reviews

A crisply written, cogently argued little manual exploring the practical implications of satyagraha ('truth force'). - Kirkus Reviews This is a manual of instruction in the best sense: a popular reassessment of the activist use of satyagraha in conflict resolution that has depth and a true appreciation for the ethical subtleties of dialectical struggles and for the multiple dimensions of 'passive resistance.' - Library Journal A fascinating, thought-provoking, helpful, and heartening book. - Marjorie Lewellyn Marks, Los Angeles Times Juergensmeyer's book is something of a Gandhian tour de force-a careful analysis and series of applications of Gandhi's concepts of satyagraha by one of America's Gandhi scholars to everyday situations with which most Western readers are familiar. - Religious Studies Review
