Putting forth a reciprocal theory of violence and nonviolence, this book addresses virtually all forms of violence, from verbal abuse to genocide, and treats all of these expressions of violence as interpersonal, institutional, and structural phenomena. In the context of recovery and nonviolence, this book addresses peace and conflict studies, legal rights, and social justice, and various nonviolent movements and struggles for peace and justice.
