In a provocative mix of polemic and on-the-ground analysis, Ra伃 Zibechi argues that it is time for radicals in the Global North to learn from the people their governments have colonized and oppressed for centuries. Through a survey of the most marginalized voices across Latin America--feminists, the Indigenous, people of African descent, and inhabitants of urban \u003cem\u003efavelas\u003c\/em\u003e and shantytowns--he introduces the Anglo world to a range of critical perspectives and new forms of struggle. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor Zibechi, real change comes from \"societies in movement,\" the people already fighting for their survival using egalitarian and traditional models of world-building, without the state, without official representatives, and without vanguards of political experts. His book contributes to global geographies of autonomous and anti-state thinking, with Zibechi placing his work in conversation with the ideological theorist of Kurdish resistance, Abdullah ﾖcalan, for a rich and dynamic survey of global movements of decolonization. Now more urgent than ever, this translation by George Ygarza Quispe comes at a time when the global left--struggling to expand its vision in a time of climate chaos and rising authoritarianism--finds itself at an impasse, desperate to animate and renew its critical imaginary.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ra伃 Zibechi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1849355428\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781849355421\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e AK Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/16\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.87h x 5.20w x 0.79d","brand":"Ra伃 Zibechi","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44756644659455,"sku":"9781849355421","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_14e4060f-d308-4d2e-8825-6182fd269d61.jpg?v=1706593501","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/constructing-worlds-otherwise-ral-zibechi-9781849355421","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
