<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Offers a practical training in Kingian Nonviolence, a step-by-step approach to conflict inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. during the Civil Rights Movement, which transforms not only unjust systems but all broken relationships; combines Kingian Nonviolence with the author's experience in activism, prison work, mindfulness, and Buddhist studies to present a holistic view of social change"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Activists and change agents, restorative justice practitioners, faith leaders, and anybody engaged in social progress and shifting society will find this mindful approach to nonviolent action indispensable.</b> <p/>Nonviolence was once considered the highest form of activism and radical change. And yet its basic truth, its restorative power, has been forgotten. In <i>Healing Resistance</i>, leading trainer Kazu Haga blazingly reclaims the energy and assertiveness of nonviolent practice and shows that a principled approach to nonviolence is the way to transform not only unjust systems but broken relationships. With over 20 years of experience practicing and teaching Kingian Nonviolence, Haga offers us a practical approach to societal conflict first begun by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. during the Civil Rights Movement, which has been developed into a fully workable, step-by-step training and deeply transformative philosophy (as utilized by the Women's March and Black Lives Matter movements). Kingian Nonviolence takes on the timely issues of endless protest and activist burnout, and presents tried-and-tested strategies for staying resilient, creating equity, and restoring peace.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Kazu Haga's deep, nuanced, and principled commitment to nonviolence has challenged and inspired me and many others who've had the privilege of encountering his work."<br>--<b>Michelle Alexander</b>, author of <i>The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness</i> <p/>To resist today's violence exploding everywhere, in ways that can actually heal our world, seems a pipe dream--until Kazu Haga makes it real. In his wry, funny, and utterly grounded fashion, he helps me believe we can do it, and begin to become the Beloved Community. We need this book like oxygen. Kazu is my teacher.<br>-- <b>Joanna Macy</b>, author of <i>World as Lover, World as Self</i><br><i><br></i>Kazu Haga reminds us of the power of nonviolence, building on the work of Gandhi and King and informed by his own life and insight in a way that touches us all today. Haga teaches us that true belonging ... is a challenging process that takes constant work and training from the internal to the interpersonal to the institutional. But that the work is worth the reward of building Beloved Community. We owe a debt of gratitude to Haga for his work and words and have in this book a manual for loving and for living nonviolence that will guide and inspire generations to come.<br><b>--john a. powell</b>, director of the Othering and Belonging Institute at UC Berkeley and author of <i>Racing to Justice: Transforming Our Concept of Self and Other to Build an Inclusive Society</i> <p/>"Kazu Haga has written an accessible, thorough, and deeply personal introduction to nonviolence as a power for personal and social transformation.
