Gene Sharp. The Politics of Nonviolent Action

I got 198 methods and violence ain't one: three sorts

Sun, 03/31/2013 - 04:45 by matt noyes

These are sorting games I made up based on Gene Sharp's list of 198 non-violent methods of struggle. I wanted to introduce the list of methods to people without overwhelming them (198!), and do it in a way that raises the underlying organizing issues they imply. The idea is to sort the methods according to whatever criteria you choose. These games should spread awareness of the variety of non-violent methods people have used in collective action and the issues they raise in a given context/group.
