The provided texts originate from the Journal of Resistance Studies, Volume 2, Number 1, 2016, specifically featuring an editorial and several articles and book reviews. Stellan Vinthagen's editorial highlights the journal's growth and its mission to bridge the gap between academic and activist knowledge of resistance. Tiina Seppälä's article explores how women in the Global South are central to resisting neoliberal development, particularly focusing on land acquisition and the challenges they face, including patriarchy within movements. Majken Jul Sørensen's article conceptualizes "constructive resistance" as building desired societies independent of dominant power structures, offering diverse examples like Christiania and Fairtrade. Jenny Morrison's article examines feminist resistance within the Scottish independence movement, noting the struggle against marginalization and the limitations of individualism. Finally, Francisco Javier Gómez Carpinteiro's piece uses the Ayotzinapa case in Mexico to illustrate the state's violence and the importance of alternative narratives and collective memory in resistance. The book reviews further analyze various aspects of civil resistance, including historical accounts, humor in nonviolent struggles, and the efficacy of nonviolent action.

This an open source project and as I am an independent researcher, this needs further collaboration with those in the field. I am quite astonished that I have got this far on my own.
