Description:

Hundreds of ordinary people in Allegany County, New York, ignored potential jail terms and large fines to defy the nuclear industry and governmental authority during 1989-90. Peterson (religious studies, Alfred University) uses a narrative approach to tell the story of a rural community's successful struggle to keep a major nuclear dump out of their area. He describes how resistors learned techniques of civil disobedience and fought for their convictions, with detailed accounts of meetings, conversations, civil disobedience actions, and lawsuits. The account includes bandw photos taken on the scene at protests. c. Book News Inc.
