Global Movement

<p>Critical research and theorizing on the Anti- or Alter-Globalization Movement has exploded over the last two decades. This volume provides a platform for scholar-activists themselves to share insights from engaged research and to critically reflect on movement histories and internal dynamics. It also highlights ways in which activists are reaching beyond their geographical and issue boundaries to link with others in struggle to construct a broader global movement of the left--and beyond. Case studies span the social movement spectrum from more traditional concerns with class the primacy of the labor movement economic redistribution and justice through the so-called 'new' movements of identity and post-materialist issues of peace the environment gender and indigenous struggles to the newest currents in (post-)autonomy (post-)anarchism and de- or anti-coloniality.</p><p>Together these studies show that what began in Chiapas with the Zapatista cry of <i>basta ya!</i> as an 'anti-globalization' movement morphed for a time into 'alter-globalization' and 'global peace and justice' and may now be emerging as a counter-hegemonic project of and for global democratization.</p><p>This book was published as a special issue of <em>Globalizations</em>.</p>
