The politics of claiming rights and strategies of mobilisation
exhibited by marginalised social groups lie at the heart of this
volume. Theoretically, the authors aims to foster a holistic and
multi-faceted understanding of how social and economic justice is
claimed, either through formal, corporatist or organised
mechanisms, or through ad hoc, informal, or individualised
practices, as well as the implications of these distinctive
activist strategies. The collection emphasises both the
difficulties of political mobilisation and the distinctive methods
employed by various social groups across a variety of contexts to
respond and overcome these challenges. Crucially, the authors'
approach involves a conceptualisation of social movements and local
mobilisation in terms of the language of rights and justice
claims-making through more organised as well as everyday political
practices. In so doing, the book bridges the literature on
contentious politics, the politics of claiming social justice, and
everyday politics of resistance.
