Uncivil Disobedience examines the roles violence and terrorism have played in the exercise of democratic ideals in America. Jennet Kirkpatrick explores how crowds, rallying behind the principle of popular sovereignty and desiring to make law conform to justice, can disdain law and engage in violence. She exposes the hazards of democracy that arise when citizens seek to control government directly, and demonstrates the importance of laws and institutions as limitations on the will of the people. Kirkpatrick looks at some of the most explosive instances of uncivil disobedience in American history: the contemporary militia movement, Southern lynch mobs, frontier vigilantism, and militant abolitionism. She argues that the groups behind these violent episodes are often motivated by admirable democratic ideas of popular power and autonomy. Kirkpatrick shows how, in this respect, they are not so unlike the much-admired adherents of nonviolent civil disobedience, yet she reveals how those who engage in violent disobedience use these admirable democratic principles as a justification for terrorism and killing. She uses a "bottom-up" analysis of events to explain how this transformation takes place, paying close attention to what members of these groups do and how they think about the relationship between citizens and the law. Uncivil Disobedience calls for a new vision of liberal democracy where the rule of the people and the rule of law are recognized as fundamental ideals, and where neither is triumphant or transcendent.

What are our responsibilities in the face of injustice? How far should we go to fight it? Many would argue that as long as a state is nearly just, citizens have a moral duty to obey the law. Proponents of civil disobedience generally hold that, given this moral duty, a person needs a solid justification to break the law. But activists from Henry David Thoreau and Mohandas Gandhi to the Movement for Black Lives have long recognized that there are times when, rather than having a duty to obey the law, we have a duty to disobey it. Taking seriously the history of this activism, A Duty to Resist wrestles with the problem of political obligation in real world societies that harbor injustice. Candice Delmas argues that the duty of justice, the principle of fairness, the Samaritan duty, and political association impose responsibility to resist under conditions of injustice. We must expand political obligation to include a duty to resist unjust laws and social conditions even in legitimate states. For Delmas, this duty to resist demands principled disobedience, and such disobedience need not always be civil. At times, covert, violent, evasive, or offensive acts of lawbreaking can be justified, even required. Delmas defends the viability and necessity of illegal assistance to undocumented migrants, leaks of classified information, distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, sabotage, armed self-defense, guerrilla art, and other modes of resistance. There are limits: principle alone does not justify law breaking. But uncivil disobedience can sometimes be not only permissible but required in the effort to resist injustice.

This book addresses the need for theological reflection on uncivil disobedience. Existing scholarship in theology and politics mostly treats church-state relations theoretically, with studies in non-violent resistance or civil disobedience, or in other ways largely assuming traditional forms of governance and means of protest--all while paying little to no attention to post-modern political philosophies. Recent eruptions of uncivil disobedience, oftentimes involving violence, like we have seen with Antifa, Black Lives Matter protests, the storming of the U.S. Capitol Building, and in the actions of other right-wing, leftist, and religious groups, assume new ways of protesting and new forms of organizing or mobilizing. Additionally, these groups and their activities are often informed by post-modern philosophies. These new political dynamics present an opportunity for theologians to produce scholarship in response. After establishing philosophical underpinnings related to uncivilly disobedient action, the contributors cover traditional historical and theological responses to political unrest as a foundation for considering or evaluating attempts to address theologically present-day manifestations of uncivil disobedience.

Essays on the justification, strategy, and limits of mass protests and political dissent In Protest and Dissent, the latest installment of the NOMOS series, distinguished scholars from the fields of political science, law, and philosophy provide a fresh, interdisciplinary perspective on the potential—and limits—of mass protest and disobedience in today’s age. Featuring ten timely essays, the contributors address a number of contemporary movements, from Black Lives Matter and the Women’s March, to Occupy Wall Street and Standing Rock. Ultimately, this volume challenges us to re-imagine the boundaries between civil and uncivil disagreement, political reform and radical transformation, and democratic ends and means. Protest and Dissent offers thought-provoking insights into a new era of political resistance.

關於義務，你怎麼想？ 面對不義，抵抗就是義務！ 面對不正當的政府，違法就是義務！ 當國家行使暴力，抗命就是義務！ 面對不義，我們有何責任？為了對抗不義，我們應該做到什麼程度？許多人認為，只要國家近乎公正，公民就有遵守法律的道德義務。支持公民抗命的人通常認為，考慮到這種道德義務，我們必須有堅實的理由才可以違法。但從梭羅、甘地以至「黑人生命運動」（Movement for Black Lives）的行動主義者早就認識到，有時候我們並非有守法的義務，而是有違法的義務。 《抵抗的義務:面對不義的非文明抗命行動》(A Duty to Resist: When Disobedience Should Be Uncivil)一書認真看待這種行動主義的歷史，致力於處理在包庇不義的現實社會中我們有何政治義務的問題。本書作者康迪絲．戴瑪（Candice Delmas）主張，正義的義務、公平原則、撒瑪利亞人義務（Samaritan duty）和政治連繫使我們肩負抵抗不義的責任。我們必須擴大政治義務，納入抵抗不公正的法律和社會狀況的責任──即使在正當的國家也是這樣。 戴瑪認為這種抵抗的義務要求我們有原則地抗命，而這種抗命不必總是文明的。也就是說，暗中進行的、採用武力的、逃避法律責任的或冒犯人的違法行為有時是合理的，甚至是必要的。作者替特定情況下某些行為的可行性和必要性辯護，包括非法協助無證移民、洩露機密資料、分散式阻斷服務（DDoS）攻擊、破壞、武裝自衛和游擊藝術（guerrilla art）。但這是有限制的：原則本身不足以支持我們違法。不過，為了抵抗不義，非文明抗命有時不但是可容許的，還是必要的。 戴瑪也指出，抵抗的義務要求我們自我教育，認識結構性種族歧視和隱性偏見的運作方式；聆聽受壓迫者的證詞；培養對我們自身和我們孩子的自欺之道德理解和抵抗；要求追究警察和其他受法律掩護者法外殺人（extrajudicial killings）的責任；吸引世人注意並致力消除大規模監禁；直接違反要求舉報或禁止協助無證移民的法律；從事有原則抗命以突顯和杜絕針對女性、性少數群體、少數族群和殘障者的歧視；以及迫使我們的政府改革世界各地不公正的貿易、勞動、環境和能源制度。我們應該挑戰並拒絕遵從性別主義者；種族主義者；恐懼同性戀、跨性別、順性別人士和歧視殘障的文化與社會規範。我們應該抵制道德有虧的產品，並積極支持堅持高尚原則的廠商；捐助致力於社會正義和民主事業的組織；記錄並舉報我們看到的惡行，即使法律可能禁止我們這麼做；必要時參與罷工；儘可能利用我們的地位、資源和才能救濟苦難和促進正義──無論是官員利用手上的權力，名人利用自己的名氣，還是普通人利用自身的技能和天賦。

Civil disobedience, the refusal to obey certain laws, is a method of protest famously articulated by philosopher and writer Henry David Thoreau in his 1849 essay “Civil Disobedience.” Thoreau believed that protest became a moral obligation when laws collided with conscience. Since then, civil disobedience has been employed as a form of rebellion around the world. But is there a place for civil disobedience in democratic societies? When is civil disobedience justifiable? Is violence ever called for? Furthermore, how effective is civil disobedience?

The economist Albert O. Hirschman famously argued that citizens of democracies have only three possible responses to injustice or wrongdoing by their government: we may leave, complain, or comply. But in When All Else Fails, Jason Brennan argues that there is fourth option. When governments violate our rights, we may resist. We may even have a moral duty to do so. For centuries, almost everyone has believed that we must allow the government and its representatives to act without interference, no matter how they behave. We may complain, protest, sue, or vote officials out, but we can't fight back. But Brennan makes the case that we have no duty to allow the state or its agents to commit injustice. We have every right to react with acts of "uncivil disobedience." We may resist arrest for violation of unjust laws. We may disobey orders, sabotage government property, or reveal classified information. We may deceive ignorant, irrational, or malicious voters. We may even use force in self-defense or to defend others. The result is a provocative challenge to long-held beliefs about how citizens may respond when government officials behave unjustly or abuse their power
