An antidore to complacency, a key to understanding, and a guide to action! A new look, from the inside out and from the outside in, at the violence in America - designed to provide a brigge between the "haves" and those of the Third World watching.
Conventional views of violence in our society define it as a spasmodic eruption or a psychological impulse. This primer for white, middle class Americans was written to sensitize them to the hidden violence in our society - the structural violence built into a status quo created and preserved for the advantage of a small minority. however unconsciously and unwillingly, it is the privileged citizens of this country who are the oppressors in a global community where inequality is constantly increasing, says Robert McAfee Brown. Not only war but also colonialism and racism are violence, because the deprivation of the Third World is no longer an unsolvable problem but a compound of neglect, disinterest, oppression, and persecution. In some situations men of goodwill and the church itself must support the use of violence for specific ends. This book weighs the alternative approaches to just and necessary revolution, presents a spectrum of possibilities for social change, and delineates the role of religion as agent of reconciliation on the fronteir of conflict. |
