Social Movements in the Global South

Dispossession, Development and Resistance

Herausgegeben: Motta, S.; Nilsen, Alf Gunvald

Beschreibung

Popular struggles in the global south suggest the need for the development of new and politically enabling categories of analysis, and new ways of understanding contemporary social movements. This book shows how social movements in Africa, South Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East politicize development in an age of neoliberal hegemony.
