A history of global protests and social movements from the perspective of radical geography

Provides a critical investigation of the 'global justice movement'. Drawing upon three case studies - a peasant farmers' network, a trade union network, and the social forum process - the authors argue that the role of key geographical concepts of space, place and scale are crucial to an understanding of the operational dynamics of these networks.

Drawing from the field of political sociology, geography, anthropology, and peace studies, Routledge explores how peasant communities in rural India form effective resistance movements against displacement, dislocation, and cultural destruction engendered by the development process.
