""This is a timely, useful, and insightful book, which offers both an introduction to, but also a spirited defense of, civil disobedience and its central place in our political world. From Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. to Black Lives Matter, the book lays out the arguments for and against various conceptions of civil disobedience in clear and elegant prose.""  Simone Chambers, University of California, Irvine ""This timely and wide-ranging introduction is at once historically instructive, analytically clear and politically engaged. It will be of great use to large numbers of students and specialists in politics, law, and philosophy.""  Robin Celikates, University of Amsterdam “Civil Disobedience… is lucid and concise; it is readily accessible to readers who know little about the theory of civil disobedience, while illuminating and insightful for readers who know quite a lot.” Political Theory “William E. Scheuerman’s critical analysis of civil disobedience… arrives at an auspicious moment. It offers an excellent, systematic survey of the philosophical literature on civil disobedience, as well as a nuanced appraisal of the profound impact of Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr on its theory and practice.” Contemporary Political Theory
