Resistance, Space and Political Identities (eBook, ePUB)

The Making of Counter-Global Networks

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Utilizing research on networked struggles in both the 18th-century Atlantic world and our modern day, Resistance, Space and Political Identities: The Making of Counter-Global Networks challenges existing understandings of the relations between space, politics, and resistance to develop an innovative account of networked forms of resistance and political activity. * Explores counter-global struggles in both the past and present--including both the 18th-century Atlantic world and contemporary forms of resistance * Examines the productive geographies of contestation * Foregrounds the solidarities and geographies of connection between different place-based struggles and argues that such solidarities are essential to produce more plural forms of globalization
