Description
Have Repertoire, Will Travel investigates how nonviolent movements worldwide employ shared performance practices and cultural repertoires to mobilize resistance and challenge power structures. Selina R. Gallo-Cruz analyzes the transnational circulation of nonviolent tactics, symbols, and cultural expressions that enable activists to communicate grievances and inspire collective action across diverse societies.
The book examines how nonviolent contentious performance—from street protests to symbolic demonstrations—creates common ground among disparate movements while adapting to local contexts. Gallo-Cruz demonstrates that nonviolence operates as both a strategic choice and a performative act, where the visible enactment of peaceful resistance carries political meaning and power.
Part of the Elements in Contentious Politics series, this work contributes to understanding social movements, political communication, and the global dimensions of nonviolent activism in the twenty-first century.
