CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE AND ACTS OF CONSCIENCE
When do you take a stand? When do you speak out? How do you act in the face of injustice? How did Jews and non-Jews stand up during the Holocaust? How do Israeli soldiers protest positions they oppose? Eyal Press will explore these questions and others in his presentation about civil resistance and in his forthcoming book, Beautiful Souls, to be published by Farrar Straus Giroux in February 2012.
Eyal Press is a Nation contributing writer and a Schwartz Fellow at the New America Foundation. He is the author of Absolute Convictions, a narrative account of the abortion wars that racked the city of Buffalo, NY. His essays, reviews, and feature stories have appeared in the New York Review of Books, The New York Times, the Atlantic Monthly, Mother Jones, The Columbia Journalism Review and numerous other publications.
