Recent decades have witnessed a worldwide change in social and
economic relations, accompanied by a multi-dimensional global
crisis and major popular uprisings led by sociopolitical movements.
While many critics see in these developments the agency of
imperialist exploitation, mainstream development thinking and
practice attribute them to the irresistible forces of progressive
free market policies. They are content to believe that the pain and
misery of poverty, and the degradation of people's lives and
livelihoods, is the price of admission into the new world order -
the inevitable price of progress. However, waged and unwaged
workers, the self-employed poor, small-scale or landless peasant
farmers, and others in the popular sectors have proven themselves
to be disposed to and very able to resist the machinations of
imperial power and corporate elites, taking direct action as well
as voting for political parties promising structural change. This
book tells the story of popular resistance in its multiple forms
with and against the new post-neoliberal regimes and of the
changing social conditions in an era of globalization and worldwide
crisis.
