LEADERS OF REVOLUTIONARY NONVIOLENCE

Once you start looking into a particular liberation framework, pacifism in this case, you find more leaders and movements that you could have imagined. Right now I am thinking about Dave Dellinger and Dorothy Day as two great leaders in this revolutionary nonviolence area. They may not be as well known as Martin Luther King and Mohandas Gandhi but they have certainly had great progressive influence in terms of their revolutionary ideas about nonviolence as well as their revolutionary practice.

In the case of Dorothy Day and the Catholic Worker movement you also have a form of liberation theology or revolutionary theology. In this case, revolutionary nonviolence and revolutionary theology overlap or intersect. We should read through the writings of these great practitioners and thinkers in the area of revolutionary nonviolence. I hope to hear from those who have read some of these writings and want to share what they discovered.
