[ send me this essay ]
A 5 page
paper discussing ways in which the principles of nonviolent demonstration can call attention to
and require negotiation of racial injustices that have been long institutionalized. Modern Peru
holds the remains of colonial racial stratification as did the US in 1963 when Martin Luther King
wrote "Letter from a Birmingham Jail" defending the use of the "direct action" aspect of
nonviolent demonstration, the action of last resort to force negotiation leading to real and lasting
change. Many of the stratifications that now exist in Peru are similar to those existing in the early
1960s. Bibliography lists 1 source.
