Past debates over social movements have suffered from a focus on
Anglo-America and Europe, often neglecting the significance of
collective actions of citizens in the Global South. This
authoritative new title redresses this imbalance with case study
material from movements for change in Brazil, India, Bangladesh,
Mexico, South Africa, Kenya and Nigeria. In these examples, social
movements have formed without the benefits of the structural or
institutional resource base found in the North, and have persevered
even when the state does not have the resources to effectively
respond to collective demands. Each expert contribution points to
the complexity of relationships that influence mobilization and
social movements; unsettling the notion that social activism leads
inexorably to democracy and development and questioning what
motivates collective action and what does it achieve?
