In an effort to build a common vocabulary and understanding of key terminology often used in the analysis and study of nonviolence, Metta Center is developing a Glossary of Nonviolence Terms. Term definitions include a comprehensive description as well as examples of historical applications of these terms. When these terms are used in other pages of this website, you can click on the highlighted words, which will bring you to the complete definition from the Glossary. New definitions are frequently added to this glossary.
