- Summary
- This book develops a lived theology of nonviolence through an extended case study of the movement to close the School of the Americas (also known as the SOA or WHINSEC). Specifically, it analyzes how the presence of the dead--a presence proclaimed at the annual vigil of the School of the Americas Watch--shapes a distinctive, transnational, nonviolent movement. The book argues that such a messianic affirmation need devolve into neither violence nor sectarianism but generates practical reasoning. This work contributes to studies of strategic nonviolence by demonstrating how religious and moral dynamics remain an essential part of such struggles. It contributes to Christian ethics by advancing normative study of social movements and nonviolence.
