Despite prognostications of the "end of history," the 21st century
has posed new challenges and a host of global crises. This book
takes up the current global economic crisis in relation to new and
changing dynamics of territory, authority, and rights in today's
global system. The authors explore long simmering conflicts in
comparative perspective, including settler colonialism in South
Africa, Northern Ireland and Israel/Palestine. They discuss
indigenous struggles against environmental land grabs and related
destruction of indigenous lands by the US nuclear weapons complex.
The book uniquely considers the sacred in the context of the global
system, including struggles of Latina/o farm workers in the U.S.
for social justice and for change in the Catholic Church. Other
chapters examine questions of civilizations and identity in the
contemporary global system, as well as the role of world-regions.
