Peacewarts: Living Roots 101 - Repair as Resistance (Class 6)

We examine the act of repair as a strategic tool of nonviolent resistance. From the 1953 legal battle against the Phoebus Cartel to the logistical sabotage of Gandhi’s spinning wheel and Cuba’s ingenious "Rikimbili" inventors, this class teaches how maintenance reduces the global pressure for extraction.

Homework

Look up"The Phoebus Cartel" and read about the 1953 court case that finally challenged their practices.
Write down one questionabout any of this episode’s topics. If you don’t have a question, write “no question.”
Optional:Journal for five minutes about an object you own that has been repaired. Does it feel more valuable to you than something brand new? Why or why not?

Learning Topics: The 1953 US District Court ruling against the Phoebus Cartel; Gandhi’s Khadi movement: Reclaiming the textile supply chain; Cuba’s ANIR: The National Association of Innovators and Rationalizers; The "Rikimbili" and adaptive repair during the Special Period; Maintenance vs. Extraction Pressure.
