What are the works of Gandhi in which we find his idea on the West?

His main theme was "nonviolent conscientous objection". His ideas influenced Dr. Martin Luther King in the American South. For instance by marching, demonstrating, and boycotting the city buses the African- American people in Birmingham, Alabama could force the bus company to allow black people to sit in the front of the bus. By having "sit in" demonstrations at lunch counters the store owners were forced to serve black people. Civil rights could be achieved by peaceful means. That violence was self-defeating. I hope that this has been a help to you.
