Pacifism As Pathology eBook

Pacifism as Pathology is a dissident classic. Originally written during the ''80s, the seminal essay ''Pacifism as Pathology'' was prompted by Ward Churchill''s frustration with what he diagnosed as a growing - and deliberately self-neutralising - ''hegemony of nonviolence'' on the North American left. The essay''s publication unleashed a raging debate among activists in both the US and Canada, a significant result of which was Michael Ryan''s penning of an essay reinforcing Churchill''s premise that nonviolence, at least as the term is popularly employed by white ''progressives,'' is counterrevolutionary.
