| Abstract | Offers a collections of essays highlighting and theorizing the front line of resistance movements actively opposing the state-corporate nexus. The chapters engage with different strategies of resistance in a variety of movements and campaigns. In doing so the book considers what we can learn from involvement in grassroots struggles, and contributes to contemporary debates around the role and significance of subversive knowledge and engaged scholarship in activism. Contributors not only present critiques of a range of harmful state-corporate policy agendas but situate these in the context of social movement struggles fighting for political transformation and alternative futures. --Adapted from publisher description. |
