The problem of violence in American culture has been a subject of increasing concern during the past two decades. In the fifties, there was rampant the school of "consensus" history writing, which tended to deny the existence of conflicts about basic issues in American history. More recently, the past has been portrayed in an entirely different light: Conflict, and particularly violent conflict, are seen as having been virtually endemic. Against the background of violent crime and civil disturbance, several presidential commissions have investigated violence, and they usually emerge with the conclusion that Americans are a peculiarly violent people. The atrocities of the Vietnam war, and police and ghetto violence, have led many to wonder at the same time whether the alleged merits of the American political system are as great as its defenders have insisted.

As this issue of Race & Class was going to press, we received from a friend in Jerusalem an Arabic language pamphlet which is currently circulating among Palestinians in the West Bank, Gaza, and Israel. The author of al-A'anaf fi al-Aradhi al-Muhattalati (Non-violence in the Occupied Territories) is Dr Mubarak A wad, a US trained Palesti nian educator. We think this is a very important initiative, and the lively interest it has sparked among Palestinian activists to be a most significant development. In rough translation, we publish excerpts from this pam phlet in the hope that it will receive broad attention, and the discussion be constructively joined by others engaged in the struggle for justice and Palestinian self-determination.

Gene Sharp has earlier described 9 types of non-violence in terms of 45 major characteristics. This generates a data matrix, which when subjected to certain methods of multivariate dimensional analysis, points to the presence of 4 fundamental factors. These 4 factors by appropriate combination seem to give rise to certain prototypes, types & super types, one scheme among which is the typology of Gene Sharp. An attempt is made here to label the first 4 fundamental dimensions of generic non-violence. IPSA.

La question de violence a constamment préoccupé le combat du peuple iranien contre un État qui n'a plus aucune réserve pour recourir à des formes les plus cruelles de la violence. Par ailleurs, l'hégémonie d'un discours de non-violence et de désobéissance civile, discours parfois trop simpliste et peu soucieux de la singularité des conjonctures politiques, a rendu les conditions de résistance du peuple contre la violence et les choix stratégiques du Mouvement vert encore plus problématiques. On s'interrogera donc dans cet article sur le rapport du politique à la violence et à la politique de la non-violence dans la situation actuelle du Mouvement.
