Europe might appear like a continent pulling itself apart. Ten years of
economic and political crises have pitted North versus South, East
versus West, citizens versus institutions. And yet, these years have
also shown a hidden vitality of Europeans acting across borders, with
civil society and social movements showing that alternatives to the
status quo already exist.
This book is at once a narrative of the experience of activism and a
manifesto for change. Through analysing the ways in which neoliberalism,
nationalism and borders intertwine, Marsili and Milanese - co-founders
of European Alternatives - argue that we are in the middle of a great
global transformation, by which we have all become citizens of nowhere.
Ultimately, they argue that only by organising in a new transnational
political party will the citizens of nowhere be able to struggle
effectively for the utopian agency to transform the world.
