This volume shines a light on Sustainable Community Movement
Organizations (SCMOs), an emergent wave of non-hierarchical,
community-based socio-economic movements, with alternative forms of
consumption and production very much at their core. Extending
beyond traditional ideas of cooperatives and mutualities, the
essays in this collection explore new geographies of solidarity
practices ranging from forms of horizontal democracy to interurban
and transnational networks. The authors uniquely frame these
movements within the Deleuzian concept of the 'rhizome', as a
meshwork of alternative spaces, paths and trajectories. This
connectivity is illustrated in case studies from around the world,
ranging from protest movements in response to austerity measures in
Southern Europe, to the Buen Vivir movement in the Andes, and
Rotating Savings and Credit Associations (ROSCAs) in the Caribbean
and Canada. Positioning these cases in relation to current
theoretical debates on Social Solidarity Economy, the authors
specifically address the question of the persistence and the
durability of the organizing practices in community economies. This
book will be a valuable tool for academics and students of
sustainable consumption, environmental policy, social policy,
environmental economics, environmental management and
sustainability studies more broadly.
The emergent Indignados movement in Spain is transforming Spanish
politics and society, heralding an end to the Transition since
Franco, and responding to multiple legitimation crises in Spain and
in Europe. This movement is rooted in the Stop Evictions campaign
led by Ada Colau in Barcelona following the bursting of the
subprime mortgage bubble in the wake of the 2008; as well as the
15-M Movement arising in May 2011 Puerta del Sol of Madrid,
symbolizing the Indignez-Vous outrage of a lost generation.
