Solidarity Hidden Histories and Geographies

Despite the frequency with which the word 'solidarity' is invoked - particularly with regard to the current global Occupy movement - the concept itself has rarely been the subject of close scrutiny. In this original and eye-opening work, David Featherstone redresses this situation by drawing on an innovative combination of archival research, oral histories and first-hand involvement with political movements. Solidarity invokes a rich variety of case studies - from historical solidarities such as the anti-slavery and anti-fascism movements, right up to present day concerns such as climate change activism and the Coca-Cola boycott. In doing so, the book unearths international forms of solidarity which have all-too-often been marginalized by nation-centred histories of the left and social movements.Wide-ranging and timely, Solidarity is a fascinating investigation of an increasingly vital subject.

David Featherstone is a lecturer in Human Geography at the University of Glasgow.
