In this episode of Talking Violence, we explore the complex terrain between violent and non-violent resistance with political theorist Dr. Erin Pineda. Drawing from her acclaimed book Seeing Like an Activist, Pineda offers a critical look at the Civil Rights Movement, approaching it as part of a global anticolonial struggle. We discuss the strategic and moral dimensions of protest, the myths of liberal civil disobedience, and how historical movements connect to today's global resistance, including Black Lives Matter and pro-Palestinian activism.
