"In left-wing politics, there seems to be a prevailing worldview that people who don't agree with every social justice principle are racist, sexist, classist, and basically just the worst type of human being. You're either with us or you're a racist, and there's no in between. People on the right seem to think others who don't agree with their worldview are over-sensitive communists or anti-patriotic elitist morons who just want to sit on the moral high horse and complain about everything. You're either with us, or you're an SJW snowflake, and there's no in between. Part of the work of nonviolence is to expand the in-between space, sit in the nuance,and sit in the contradiction."
- Kazu Haga, Healing Resistance

"The person on the other side might be 99% wrong. But what's the 1% of what they're saying that you can understand and agree with? Understanding that 1% will strengthen you're own perspective."

Kingian Nonviolence is a concept I hadn’t so intensely analyzed prior to this novel. Familiar with Rosenberg’s work on nonviolence, I have been introduced to the concept before. However, this length of description drew me into it and Haga sold it to me. What a beautiful way to approach the world. I would recommend this novel to anyone seeking guidance on how to approach conflict with empathy in any form. Excellent.

not sure if i can immediately call this life-changing, but certainly paradigm-shifting and will be sitting with me (and inspiring further reading) for a long time. i'd recommend this book to absolutely everyone.

I bought this book firstly to guide me as i begin my PhD on non violence in particular looking at prevention to violence against young people , but i also bought this book to develop myself as a person. I wanted to become someone capable of critically examining my own commitments and beliefs, and the commitments and beliefs of others when it came to non violence. Kazu Haga writes honestly and in an accessible and no bullshit manner which just makes all the points on his book crystal clear and lifting the wool from my eyes on what, to me now seems like THE only way to live a life is through the study of Kingian Non violence. Thank you Kazu Haga this is just what i and i think society is needed
