This invaluable handbook, updated with a new preface and a new case study on terrorism in Northern Ireland, sets out Gandhi's basic methods and illustrates them with practical examples. Juergensmeyer shows how parties at odds can rise above a narrow view of self-interest to find resolutions that are satisfying and beneficial to all involved. He then pits Gandhi's ideas against those of other great social thinkers in a series of imaginary debates that challenge and clarify Gandhi's thinking on issues of violence, anger, and love. He also provides a Gandhian critique of Gandhi himself and offers viable solutions to some of the gaps in Gandhian theory. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eGandhi's Way: A Handbook of Conflict Resolution\u003c\/i\u003e was previously published as \u003ci\u003eFighting with Gandhi \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eFighting Fair.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFront Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA fascinating, thought-provoking, helpful and heartening book.--\u003ci\u003eLos Angeles Times\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Juergensmeyer's book is something of a Gandhian tour de force -- a careful analysis and series of applications of Gandhi's concepts of satyagraha ... to everyday situations with which most Western readers are familiar.\"--\u003ci\u003eReligious Studies Review\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"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.'\"--\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMark Juergensmeyer\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Sociology at the University of California, Santa Barbara.
