"Putting your body in the way of violence is a dramatic way of standing up for peace. Taking a Stand describes how to go about doing just that. It outlines the work done by delegations, peace teams and accompaniment projects - who runs them, what is involved in joining, and the social and emotional challenges and rewards from such experience. Accessible and conversational, the book describes the programs available, how to get information on them, the variety of people currently participating, and what to expect in terms of fear and exhilaration, resistance and support if you volunteer"--Dust jacket, print format.
