This book analyzes the World Social Forum (WSF) in a context of
crisis and transition in the history of Western capitalist
modernity. Based on ten years of fieldwork on three continents,
this book treats social movements as knowledge producers. It pays
attention to what movements are doing and saying on the terrain of
the WSF over time and from place to place, and to how they theorize
its significance. Framed by the Latin American
modernity-coloniality perspective, the book critically engages with
discourses of global civil society, autonomism, and transnational
feminism toward a reading of the WSF through the lens of 'colonial
difference'. Each chapter outlines a set of contestations and
contributions with relevance beyond debates about the WSF. It will
be of strong interest to students and scholars of social movement
studies; international politics; post-colonial studies; gender
studies; sociology; political theory and social work.
