Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Abraham Johannes Muste died in 1967, newspapers throughout the world referred to him as the "American Gandhi." Best known for his role in the labor movement of the 1930s and his leadership of the peace movement in the postwar era, Muste was one of the most charismatic figures of the American left in his time. Had he written the story of his life, it would also have been the story of social and political struggles in the United States during the twentieth century. In American Gandhi, Leilah Danielson establishes Muste's distinctive activism as the work of a prophet and a pragmatist. Muste warned that the revolutionary dogmatism of the Communist Party would prove a dead end, understood the moral significance of racial equality, argued early in the Cold War that American pacifists should not pick a side, and presaged the spiritual alienation of the New Left from the liberal establishment. At the same time, Muste was committed to grounding theory in practice and the individual in community. His open, pragmatic approach fostered some of the most creative and remarkable innovations in progressive thought and practice in the twentieth century, including the adaptation of Gandhian nonviolence for American concerns and conditions. A biography of Muste's evolving political and religious views, American Gandhi also charts the rise and fall of American progressivism over the course of the twentieth century and offers the possibility of its renewal in the twenty-first.

Book excerpt: "Thank you for the India itinerary-splendid, eloquent, of great value in a dark time."-Dan Berrigan, poet, prophet, activist "Bernie Meyer, The American Gandhi, gives us a heartfelt gift. His memoir is a peace dance, a road map, a Huck Finn raft to keep the world sane as we strive to navigate the 21st Century."-Don Foran, University Professor of Literature "Bernie Meyer writes with compelling clarity and authenticity about his experiences as a practitioner of nonviolence. His story, beautifully intertwined with that of his mentors, especially Gandhi, becomes a guidebook for our lives as we inevitably face choices between chaos and community, between nonviolence and non-existence."-Kathy Kelly, nominee for Nobel Peace Prize "Bernie Meyer speaks with, in and through the Gandhian spirit of actively engaged nonviolence. He has lived through and experienced some of the most formative times and events of the American nation. This collection of autobiographical essays deserves a wide reading audience. Rarely do we find such spiritual and philosophical depth combined so integrally with social activism and long term commitment to progressive change in society. This voice is genuinely a national treasure."-Daniel Liechty, School of Social Work, Illinois State University "For 40 years, Meyer has seen and done it all in America's movements for peace and justice. Activists have come and gone, but Meyer has stayed, and the knowledge he has gained is invaluable for anyone hoping to achieve positive change in the 21st century."-Charlie Meconis, Founder of Institute for global Security Studies

Book excerpt: Charts "the course of Gandhi's impact upon the American imagination, from the earliest glimmers of awareness in the 1920s than an ungainly little man in far-off India was shaking a mighty empire to the general acknowledgement today of his influence on the civil rights movement. It is a meticulous reconstruction both of Gandhi's popular image, from the first cartoons and accounts in the newspapers and journals to the shock of headlines announcing his assassination, and of the grander and more enduring monument his thought and example erected in the minds of leaders and intellectuals as diverse as Vincent Sheean and Martin Luther King."--p. vii.
