In the wake of the global financial crisis, new forms of social
organization are beginning to take shape. Disparate groups of
people are coming together in order to resist corporate
globalization and seek a more positive way forward. These movements
are not based on hierarchy; rather than looking to those in power
to solve their problems, participants are looking to one another.
In certain countries in the West, this has been demonstrated by the
recent and remarkable rise of the Occupy movement. But in
Argentina, such radical transformations have been taking place for
years. Everyday Revolutions tells the story of how regular people
changed their country and inspired others across the world.
Reflecting on new forms of social organization, such as
horizontalism and autogestion, as well as alternative conceptions
of value and power, Marina Sitrin shows how an economic crisis
spurred a people's rebellion; how factory workers and medical
clinic technicians are running their workplaces themselves, without
bosses; how people have taken over land to build homes, raise
livestock, grow crops, and build schools, creating their own art
and media in the process. Daring and groundbreaking, Everyday
Revolutions serves as an instructive example for activists the
world over. It shows how the experiences of the autonomous
movements in Argentina can help answer the question of how to turn
a rupture into a revolution.
