Kristina E. Thalhammer, Sam McFarland, Paula L. O'Loughlin, Nathan Stoltzfus, Sharon Toffey Shepela, Penina Migdal Glazer, Myron Peretz Glazer
During times of grave injustice, some individuals, groups, and organizations courageously resist maltreatment of all people, regardless of their backgrounds. Courageous resisters have assisted others in such locales as Nazi-controlled Europe throughout the 1930s and 40s, Argentina during the ''Dirty War'' of the 1970s, Rwanda in the 1990s genocide and Iraqi prisons in recent years. Using these and other case studies, this book introduces readers to the broad spectrum of courageous resistance and provides a framework for analyzing the factors that motivate and sustain opposition to human rights violations.
