There is not an extensive literature on civil disobedience (although civil disobedience is often
implicitly discussed in the context of political obligation). Nonetheless, the following are
useful: H.A. Bedau (1991) contains ‘classic’ texts on civil disobedience. Another edited
collection by Bedau is: H.A. Bedau, Civil Disobedience: Theory and Practice(New York:
Pegasus, 1969). Two further studies are Chaim Gans, Philosophical Anarchism and Political
Disobedience(Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1992) and Leslie Macfarlane, Political
Disobedience(London: Macmillan, 1971). For some books on the Civil Rights Movement
see: Adam Fairclough, To Redeem the Soul of America: The Southern Christian Leadership
Conference and Martin Luther King, Jr.(Athens: University of Georgia Press, 1987); David
Garrows, Protest at Selma: Martin Luther King, Jr., and the Voting Rights Act of 1965(New
Haven, CT: Yale University Press, 1978); John Salmond, My Mind Set on Freedom: A History
of the Civil Rights Movement, 1954–68(Chicago, IL: Ivan R. Dee, 1997).Weblinks
