Abstract
Sean Scalmer’s Gandhi in the West tackles a topic familiar to scholars
of nonviolence, popular protest, and pacifism in the twentieth century.
That topic, of course, is the figure of Mohandas Gandhi, and more
broadly his influence on the methods, the style, and the philosophy of
nonviolent protest. This is terrain that has been covered in part by
other scholars, most notably Charles Chatfield in his classic The
Americanization of Gandhi: Images of the Mahatma (1976). Others,
such as Michael Nojeim, Joseph Kip Kosek, Leilah Danielson, and
David Cortright have also made valuable recent contributions to this
field by examining the reach of Gandhi’s appeal in the practice of nonviolence
in the Western world.
