Reviews and Endorsements
"This book is a study of the history of the racial dilemma in the United States. It includes the Civil Rights Movement and its leaders, such as Martin Luther King. It amplifies the theory of non-violence by using some of the writings of Gandhi and King and others. This work is important in studying the healing of psychological splitting, and I highly recommend it for any reader who is curious about these topics and is willing to think symbolically and metaphorically about them." - Ben F. Toole, Jungian analyst, USA.
"In the face of the worldwide epidemic of violence, this book is historically timely. Renee Cunningham offers an important alternative to violence by demonstrating the value of the spiritual practice of nonviolence. The book's focus on the psychological underpinnings of nonviolence contributes to a greater understanding of exactly why nonviolence can be so effective." - Lionel Corbett, MD, Jungian analyst; Pacifica Graduate Institute, USA.
"From the consulting room to the political scene we search for a container to hold the tension of the opposites. Following the path of nonviolence so aptly described by this author gives us the opportunity to experience and grow from this tension." - Billye Bob Currie, Jungian analyst, USA.
