Kazu Haga, Bernard LaFayette Jr., David C. Jehnsen: Healing Resistance (2020, Parallax Press)

Great intro to nonviolence practice

This book has a lot of valuable insight into how to repair and resist harm through the lens of Kingian nonviolence and meditative practices. It focuses a bit more on society-level work but also has a lot of wisdom on individual and relational healing.

I recommend this as a great starting point for anyone interested in nonviolence and a social movement or a healing modality.
