Peter Gelderloos
Peter Gelderloos is an anarchist and author from Virginia (United States).
Gelderloos was arrested in 2001 while attending a protest at the Georgia-based Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation (formerly known as School of the Americas), a controversial school that trains Central and South American soldiers and police.[1] He was convicted and served 6 months in prison.
In How Nonviolence Protects the State Gelderloos sets out to "[debunk] the notion that non-violent activism is the only acceptable and effective method of struggle."[2]
In May 2007, Gelderloos was arrested in Spain and charged with public disorder and illegal demonstration during a squatters' protest. He faced between three and six years of imprisonment. Eventually he was acquitted.
In 2010 Gelderloos published Anarchy Works,a comprehensive book explaining basic principles of anarchism and their historic usage. He also publishedTo Get to the Other Side, a narrative of his travels through Europe's anarchist milieus.
