No Such Thing as Non Violence

INSTRUCTIONS:

Osterweil - No Such Thing as Nonviolence. According to Osterweil in the introduction to her book what is the definition of looting? How does she go on to describe the phenomena of looting as part of civil disobedience in general? Do you agree? Why or why not? What is one “misconception” about looting, and rioting, and Osterweil’s reply to it in the introduction?  Do you agree with her? Why or why not? In the “No Such Thing as Non-Violence” section, what are some of the examples Osterweil uses to show that the civil rights movement was not completely non-violent? Why does she think these  examples haven’t been more emphasized in the history of the civil rights movement?
