People working for social change face plenty of difficult questions, but sometimes matters of
strategy and tactics receive low priority. Among many North American activists, the role of
nonviolence as the default mode of struggle bears little scrutiny. Is nonviolence effective
at ending systems of oppression? How is nonviolence connected to white privilege? Is militancy
naturally macho, or does pacifism reinforce the same power dynamics as patriarchy? Ultimately,
does nonviolence protect the State? How Nonviolence Protects the State brings existing
criticisms of nonviolence, and several new ones, together into one book, in an attempt to
illuminate one of the most severe roadblocks to social change today.

Brazilian Dreams explores cultures of opposition in Brazil as documented by two US
travelers in 1988-89. Woven together in a hybrid narration that combines travelogue,
political reportage, and personal reflection, the documentary features testimonies of
Brazilian activists involved in a wide range of social movements: the modernist graffiti
counter-culture of comopolitan Sao Paulo, working-class femenists in the parishes of
Sao Paulo's slums, the Black Conciousness movement of Bahia, a first-ever meeting of
Indian tribes in the Amazon to protest dam construction on their lands, and the Amazonia
rubbertappers' struggle to preserve their sustainable way of life in the rainforest.
