Pro-Life Activists in America: Meaning, Motivation, and Direct Action
by Carol J. C. Maxwell

Pro-Life Activists in America: Meaning, Motivation, and Direct Action Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

This book offers a oral history of pro-life direct activism in America from the late 1970s through the early 1990s. Through the stories of leaders and followers, men and women, Catholics and evangelicals, Carol Maxwell explores the complex beliefs and desires that gave rise to this activism, sustained, and eventually undid it. She offers a unique view of the minds of individual protestors and an important account of the direct action movement--as its initial commitment to Ghandian non-violence was broken down by the lethal acts that accompanied its end.

Review:

"...a book that offers much that students of movements in all disciplines will find useful." Mobilization, Myra Max Ferree
