This course focus on what has variously been called "nonviolent direct action," "people power," "unarmed insurrection," or "color revolution." It applies sociological perspectives on the "resistance" that is played out in political and noninstitutional mobilizations: its causes, effects and dynamics. In what way does organized, strategic and mass mobilized popular resistance bring about change, or reproduce domination?
