A thorough introduction to the field of nonviolence, this anthology presents the subject through a number of essays depicting nonviolent struggle in different parts of the world.

Understanding Nonviolence is a nice collection of academic essays on Nonviolence. While your mileage may vary on some of them (due to the writing mainly), I found each one to be interesting on its own. The most memorable ones too me were ones that involved narratives detailing the struggles of groups trying to remain nonviolent. Of those the one involving the Nashville sit in situation proved to be the most memorable. There was something about the deep level of thought put into the sit in that made it several leagues above the interesting chart than some of the other cases in the book (like displaced people trying to have their state recognized, or the Polish people story). Second memorable was the one on Rural Movements and Economic Policy with Brazil people occupying unoccupied farmland and using it to take away from people who werent using it. The detail to how this played out was very interesting and highly memorable.
In terms of the arguments presented most were ones that anyone would agree with. I think there is clearly still room in the future to address the use of social media and other forms of media for nonviolence. I did agree with the writer in that clicktivism can be counterproductive for movements and is usually more focused on people on the west feeling good about themselves but then not really doing anything. Interesting enough, I loved how the book continued to stress that most movements are successful when the people have formed close connections with one another and that feel feel personally connected to them and to others. It helps keep people in the cause and gives them courage to push forward. Online aid can only go but so far.
So all in all it is a good collection of essays on nonviolence. Some of them are more interesting than others but the nine chapters do well at hitting points across the board.
