The distinctive American tradition of civil disobedience stretches back to pre-Revolutionary War days and has served the purposes of determined protesters ever since. This stimulating book examines the causes that have inspired civil disobedience, the justifications used to defend it, disagreements among its practitioners, and the controversies it has aroused at every turn. Tracing the origins of the notion of civil disobedience to eighteenth-century evangelicalism and republicanism, Lewis Perry discusses how the tradition took shape in the actions of black and white abolitionists and antiwar protesters in the decades leading to the Civil War, then found new expression in post-Civil War campaigns for women's equality, temperance, and labor reform. Gaining new strength and clarity from explorations of Thoreau's essays and Gandhi's teachings, the tradition persisted through World War II, grew stronger during the decades of civil rights protest and antiwar struggles, and has been adopted more recently by anti-abortion groups, advocates of same-sex marriage, opponents of nuclear power, and many others. Perry clarifies some of the central implications of civil disobedience that have become blurred in recent times-nonviolence, respect for law, commitment to democratic processes-and throughout the book highlights the dilemmas faced by those who choose to violate laws in the name of a higher morality.

Histoire de la reconnaissance du droit à la manifestation. En 150 ans, le recours à la manifestation s'est institutionnalisé de manière durable, devenant une pratique courante perceptible à la fois à l'augmentation des manifestations et à la diffusion de sa pratique dans toutes les couches de la société. Les modalités de gestion ont évolué, permettant une occupation pacifique de la rue. ©Electre 2015

Trente ans après, que reste-il de la Marche pour l’égalité et contre le racisme de l’automne 1983 ? Initiée par des jeunes du quartier des Minguettes à Vénissieux et des militants antiracistes de la Cimade à la suite des rébellions urbaines de la banlieue lyonnaise, cette mobilisation sans précédent symbolise l’apparition dans l’espace public des enfants d’immigrés post-coloniaux. La Marche représente une sorte de « Mai 68 » des jeunes immigrés qui prennent la parole contre les crimes racistes, pour l’égalité devant la justice et la police, le droit au travail, le droit au logement, l’accès à la culture, etc. S’appuyant sur une étude empirique, La Marche pour l’égalité et contre le racisme se donne pour objectif d’éclairer certaines zones d’ombre d’un événement mythique mais méconnu. Il s’agit aussi pour Abdellali Hajjat d’une porte d’entrée idéale pour éclairer les relations sociales entre groupe national majoritaire et groupes minoritaires, au travers d’enjeux cruciaux pour la société tout entière : légitimité de la présence des immigrés sur le territoire, reconnaissance des déviances policières violentes, recrudescence des crimes racistes, passage de la rébellion violente à l’action collective non-violente, politisation des jeunes de cité, question post-coloniale, construction du « problème musulman », etc. L’histoire de la Marche constitue un puissant révélateur de ces enjeux politiques toujours d’actualité.

As a result, Tunisia is now seen as the unlikely birthplace and exemplar of the process of democratisation long overdue in the Arab world.Mixing political, historical, economic, social and cultural analyses and approaches, these essays reflect on the local, regional and transnational dynamics together with the long and short term factors that, when combined, set in motion the Tunisian revolution and the Arab uprisings. Above all, the book maps the intertwined genealogies of cultural dissent that have contributed to the mobilisation of protesters and to the sustenance of protests between 17 December 2010 and 14 January 2011, and beyond.Key Features13 essays by an international and interdisciplinary set of experienced and emerging scholars who are active in researching and writing about the Tunisian and Arab Spring revolutionsMaps the origins of the Tunisian revolution, seeing it as an event that was years in the making after decades of 'collaborative revolutionism' across spaces, places and generationsExplore the various traditions of dissent under Bourguiba and Ben AliIncludes important reflections on the major debates that dominated the postrevolutionary scene and continue to inform the transition to democracy"
