Complete description

Utilizing research on networked struggles in both the 18th-century Atlantic world and our modern day, "Resistance, Space and Political Identities: The Making of Counter-Global Networks" challenges existing understandings of the relations between space, politics, and resistance to develop an innovative account of networked forms of resistance and political activity. It explores counter-global struggles in both the past and present-including both the 18th-century Atlantic world and contemporary forms of resistance. It examines the productive geographies of contestation. It foregrounds the solidarities and geographies of connection between different place-based struggles and argues that such solidarities are essential to produce more plural forms of globalization.
