From the Occupy protests to the Black Lives Matter movement and
school strikes for climate action, the twenty-first century has
been rife with activism. Although very different from one another,
each of these movements has created alliances across borders, with
activists stressing that their concerns are not confined to
individual nation states. In this book, Daniel Laqua shows that
global efforts of this kind are not a recent phenomenon, and that
as long as there have been borders, activists have sought to cross
them. Activism Across Borders since 1870 explores how individuals,
groups and organisations have fostered bonds in their quest for
political and social change, and considers the impact of national
and ideological boundaries on their efforts. Focusing on Europe but
with a global outlook, the book acknowledges the importance of
imperial and postcolonial settings for groups and individuals that
expressed far-reaching ambitions. From feminism and socialism to
anti-war campaigns and green politics, this book approaches
transnational activism with an emphasis on four features:
connectedness, ambivalence, transience and marginality. In doing
so, it demonstrates the intertwined nature of different movements,
problematizes transnational action, discusses the temporary nature
of some alliances, and shows how transnationalism has been used by
those marginalized at the national level. With a broad
chronological perspective and thematic chapters, it provides
historical context, clarifies terms and concepts, and offers an
alternative history of modern Europe through the lens of activists,
movements and campaigns.
