Within many societies across the world, new social and political
movements have sprung up that either challenge formal parliamentary
structures of democracy and participation, or work within them and,
in the process, fundamentally alter the ideological content of
democratic potentials. At the same time, some parliamentary
political parties have attracted a new type of 'populist' political
rhetoric and support base. This collection, along with its
accompanying volume 2, examines the emergence of, and the
connections between, these new types of left-wing democracy and
participation. Through an array of examples from different
countries, it explains why left-wing activism arises in new and
innovative spaces in society and how this joins up with
conventional left-wing politics, including parliamentary politics.
It demonstrates how these new forms of politics can resonate with
the real life experiences of ordinary people and thereby win
support for left-wing agendas.

This enlightening edited collection shows how migration shapes the
lives of faith communities - and vice versa - through diverse
prisms including diaspora, generational change, cultural conflict,
conceptions of 'ministry' and artistic response. The contributors
comprise writers, poets and artists from the three largest
Abrahamic faiths (Judaism, Christianity, Islam) and beyond. They
show how issues of migration are addressed through a variety of
different media such as theological debate and shared community
action, poetry and art. As issues of migration are an important
factor in so many political and social debates, faith communities
are looking for guidance on how to deepen their theological
understanding of migration. This book helps them to reflect on
their own practices and experiences, learn from their own
traditions and engage in dialogue with diverse communities. *All

Foundation - a UK-based charity that supports people who have
survived extreme physical, sexual and psychological violence.*
