The most valuable contribution of this book is to remind us of the political significance of remembering and archiving. ... There are other resources available that give more depth and breadth about past movements, but for activists concerned with strategic campaign planning and movement-building this book makes the case for understanding the importance of cultural memory. This is especially important if we are to learn from nonviolent successes and make relevant archival material available and visible in society. (Rachel Julian, Peace News, Vol. 2590-2591, February-March, 2016) This book makes a significant contribution to memory studies. It offsets the excessive attention paid to trauma and the displacement of memory by looking at how nonviolent struggle and its transmission in cultural memory emphasises questions of human agency, resilience and collective action. These are vital questions and the book addresses them splendidly. - Michael Pickering, Loughborough University, UK
