- Summary
- Global Activism Reader is a unique collection of essays on the various causes, actors, and strategies in transnational social mobilization and counter-mobilization. Beginning with concepts and definitions, the reader offers some historical perspective before focusing on contemporary transnational activism. This core section includes major causes or issue areas and specific campaigns. Readings on any given issue or campaign always include a critical or dissident voice. Weaving theory with case studies, the work discusses labor, the environment, human rights, womenʹs rights, arms control and disarmament, and social justice and democracy. In addition, a companion website features for each chapter suggestions for further readings, films, documentaries, and activist websites. -- Description from http://www.continuumbooks.com (Oct. 10, 2011)
