Building on an analysis of the dissenting movements to have emerged
since the rise of modern capitalism, Anti-Systemic Movements uncovers
an international groundswell of resistance still vitally active at the
end of the twentieth century. The authors suggest that the new
assertiveness of the South, the development of class struggle in the
East and the emergence of rainbow coalitions in various regions hold
fresh promise for emancipatory politics. Taking the year 1968 as a
symbolic turning point, the authors argue that new anti-systemic
movements have arisen which challenge the logic of the capitalist
world-system.
