Routledge Praxis and Politics: Knowledge Production in Social Movements

Praxis and Politics offers a deep look into the knowledge created through activist praxis. This book examines how such knowledge helps reimagine radical and democratic politics. It provides a unique perspective based on five years of direct involvement with the Toronto-based Metro Network for Social Justice. Readers will learn about the real-world applications of coalition building, campaign organizing, and economic and political literacy work. The text focuses on the period following the signing of the Canada-US Free Trade Agreement. This work is part of the New Approaches in Sociology series from Routledge. By drawing on traditions such as cultural studies, urban studies, and political economy, the book sets new theoretical and methodological standards for social movement studies. It is an essential resource for those studying how grassroots movements generate meaningful insights and influence political landscapes.
