Reseña del editor
From the final decades of the eighteenth century to the present day, a relatively few social and political documents have been written and circulated, then have gone on to change the course of human history." The Manifesto Series "surveys some of those documents, presents an account of each manifestoas immediate impact, then explains how and why its influence spread to a wider audience. Brief and concisely written, each title in this series makes engrossing reading and provides readers with insights into the dynamics of modern history. Each title in this series is enhanced with approximately 70 color illustrations. Lengthy excerpts from "Civil Disobedience, "a ground-breaking work by the nineteenth-century American social philosopher Henry David Thoreau, is presented in this book with extensive commentary and analysis. Thoreauas book presents a compelling argument that justifies adherence to oneas conscience when facing questions of morality, even at the cost of defying the law of the land. Approximately a century later, Thoreauas thinking became one of the major influences in Americaas Civil Rights Movement.

Books in the Manifesto series clearly and succinctly explain the background to documents that have changed global history. Each title looks at the context in which a manifesto was produced and presents either the full text or significant excerpts. The document’s immediate impact is assessed, with explanation of how and why its influence spread to a wider audience. Short and to the point, the books in this series make engrossing reading and give readers insights into the dynamics of modern history.
Henry David Thoreau’s essay “Civil Disobedience” was first delivered as a lecture in 1848 in support of the antislavery cause. However, it wasn’t until the twentieth century that Thoreau came to be valued for his political ideas. “Civil Disobedience” was a key text for Gandhi and Martin Luther King, and influenced student radicalism in the 1960s. Much contemporary political thinking (distrust of the power of the state; direct action versus the ballot box; the anti-globalization movement) is addressed by Thoreau’s ideas on the importance of individuals, informed dissent, and nonviolent resistance.Manifesto: Words That Changed the World contains quotes from the essay. Commentary by Andrew Kirk examines its historical context and worldwide repercussions.
