Wendy Perlman is a Professor of Political Science at Northwestern University. She is the author of We Crossed a Bridge and It Trembled: Voices from Syria, of which Japanese translation was published in 2019. In her Violence, Nonviolence, and the Palestinian National Movement (Cambridge University Press, 2011), she empirically examined various aspects of violence and nonviolence in the history of the Palestinian movement in terms of the dynamics of cohesion and fragmentation, drawing comparisons with the movements in Ireland and South Africa. In this workshop, we will discuss with the author various aspects of violenc
e and nonviolence in the recent Palestinian, Iraqi, and Syrian protest movements.
