Nonviolent Struggle: Lessons from Serbia Applied in the Middle East and Africa
Srdja Popovic and Slobodan Djinovic, CANVAS (Center for Applied NonViolent Action and Strategies)
“To the world's autocrats, they are sworn enemies – both Venezuela's Hugo Chávez and Belarus's Aleksandr Lukashenko have condemned them by name. But to a young generation of democracy activists from Harare to Rangoon to Minsk to Tehran, the young Serbs are heroes. They have worked with democracy advocates from more than 50 countries. They have advised groups of young people on how to take on some of the worst governments in the world – and in Georgia, Ukraine, Syria-occupied Lebanon, the Maldives, and now Egypt, those young people won.” –Tina Rosenberg, “Revolution U” (http://www.foreignpolicy.com/articles/2011/02/16/revolution_u, Foreign Policy, February 16, 2011)
Hear these two young Serbs share their experiences next Wednesday at Harvard Kennedy School:
