About us
PURPOSE: Our web site endeavors to create an Archive of Record of significant texts on the history, theory, and practice of nonviolence. While we mainly represent a Gandhian perspective, we recognize that nonviolence is a living, dynamic concept that reshapes and reinterprets itself from age to age and culture to culture. Nonviolence is responsive to needs, and needs affect form. For further elaboration of our goals, please consult the “Purpose” statements at the beginning of each section page.
We welcome your input and contributions. Please see our Submission Guidelines below.
