Routledge Edges of Global Justice - World Social Forum Book

Explore the complexities of modern social movements with Edges of Global Justice: The World Social Forum and Its 'Others'. Part of the Rethinking Globalizations series from Routledge, this academic text provides a deep analysis of the World Social Forum (WSF) during a period of crisis and transition in Western capitalist modernity. Drawing from ten years of extensive fieldwork conducted across three continents, the book treats social movements as active producers of knowledge. It examines the specific actions and theories developed by these movements on the ground of the WSF, tracking how their significance evolves across different times and locations. By utilizing the Latin American modernity-coloniality perspective, this work offers a critical look at global civil society, autonomism, and transnational feminism. It is an essential resource for students and scholars interested in anthropology, sociology, and the evolving dynamics of global justice movements.
