The Freedom Fighters: Engaing the Powers
摘要
After oath-taking, chapter six follows the weaponization of the Freedom Fighters, which conceptualizes the weapon the Freedom Fighters employ: Prayer. This is a challenge, since the revolt’s usual portrayal is one of “passive resistance.” Nonetheless, the understanding of the revolt is evolving, revealing that the Freedom Fighters fight with weapons outside of the physical. The power of resistance is on display when the Freedom Fighters contend with their opponents and put their lives at stake in the fight for freedom. The chapter insists that the power of their weapon is the grounding of resistance in faith, and its interpretation through concrete experience. The chapter further explores the weapon of the Freedom Fighters, their understanding of the nature of their fight, and the complexity and power of their weapon for resistance.
