Gandhi: Prisoner of Hope

Brown, Judith M. Gandhi: Prisoner of Hope. New Haven: Yale University Press, 1989.

Why this matters here

Brown's biography situates Gandhi's late-1920s and early-1930s civil-disobedience period, including the strategic opening of the salt campaign. When Others Become Leaders reads that opening as distributed leadership: empire's monopoly made a bodily contradiction legible enough for many hands to bend after Gandhi's.
