Cross-border solidarity has captured the interest and imagination
of scholars, activists and a range of political actors in such
contested areas as the US-Mexico border and Guantanamo Bay. Chandra
Russo examines how justice-seeking solidarity drives activist
communities contesting US torture, militarism and immigration
policies. Through compelling and fresh ethnographic accounts, Russo
follows these activists as they engage in unusual and high risk
forms of activism (fasting, pilgrimage, civil disobedience). She
explores their ideas of solidarity and witnessing, which are
central to how the activists explain their activities. This book
adds to our understanding of solidarity activism under new global
arrangements, and illuminates the features of movement activity
that deepen activists' commitment by helping their lives feel more
humane, just and meaningful. Based on participant observation,
interviews, surveys and hundreds of courtroom statements, Russo
develops a new theorization of solidarity that will take a central
place in social movement studies.
