Description: Citizenship and Social MovementsPerspectives from the Global South Author(s): Eghosa E. Osaghae, Arilson Favareto, Ranjita Mohanty, Laurence Edward Piper, Simeen Mahmud, Linda Waldman, Lyla Mehta, Angela Alonso, Carlos Cortez Ruiz, Lisa Thompson Format: Paperback Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing PLC, United Kingdom Imprint: Zed Books Ltd ISBN-13: 9781848133891, 978-1848133891 Synopsis Debates over social movements have suffered from a predominate focus on North America and western Europe, often neglecting the significance of collective action in the global South. Citizenship and Social Movements seeks to partially redress this imbalance with case studies from Brazil, India, Bangladesh, Mexico, South Africa and Nigeria. This volume points to the complex relationships that influence mobilization and social movements in the South, suggesting that previous theories have underplayed the influence of state power and elite dominance in the government and in NGOs. As the contributors to this book clearly show, understanding the role of the state in relation to social movements is critical to determining when collective action can fulfil the promise of bringing the rights of the marginalized to the fore.
