Synopsis

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.

About this title

Review:

"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
