Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

This compilation includes remarkable interviews with leading spiritual social activists of our century, including Desmond Tutu, the Dalai Lama, Thich Nhat Hanh, Ram Dass, Joan Baez, Gary Snyder, Joanna Macy, Cesar Chavez, David Steindl-Rast, A.T. Ariyaratne, Diane Nash, and Mubarak Awad.

Book News Annotation:

This collection presents interviews with 12 non-violent social activists, addressing both the social questions of their activism and the spiritual underpinnings of their nonviolent strategies. Among the figures interviewed are the Dalai Lama, Desmond Tutu, Cesar Chavez, Mubarak Awad, Thich Nhat Hanh, and Joanna Macy. This revised edition features a new foreword by Mahatma Ghandi's grandson Arun and a new introduction by the author.

Synopsis:

In the spring of 2003 there was a worldwide demonstration for nonviolence that was the largest in history.

A growing number of people are studying the works of Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Jr., and other nonviolent leaders as the world collectively seeks to abandon the use of weapons in resolving conflict. At a time when eloquent and inspiring voices for peace are relevant more than ever, In the Footsteps of Gandhi, profiles contemporary leaders in this struggle. Here are people whose positive work has been part of international news for decades—in topics ranging from AIDS, to apartheid, to the Israeli-Palestine conflict—all of whom embody the understanding that violence is not stopped by violence. Violence is only ended by love.

This revised edition of Catherine Ingram's book features interviews with Mubarak Awad, Ram Dass, Thich Nhat Hanh, Cesar Chavez, H.H. The Dalai Lama, Desmond Tutu, Joan Baez, and others.

This wonderfully written book presents interviews and accounts with activists working on myriad issues, in every part of the world. Each person embodies Gandhi's principle, that "my life is my message," how I live as I deal with the complex conditions of the world is the truest measure of who I am as a human being. Very humbling and inspiring.
