Resistance, Space and Political Identities The Making of Counter-Global Networks

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
