In a time when representative democracies were under threat, 15M came to life as a virtuous and democratic response to the slide into far-right populism and authoritarianism. More than a social movement, 15M became a mode of being with transformative, democratizing potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eDemocracy Here and Now\u003c\/i\u003e, Pablo Ouziel offers a grounded analysis of 15M. At the time of the movement and during the ensuing encampments, Ouziel travelled extensively, speaking to participants, and keeping an ongoing record of his conversations. Presenting an original participatory mode of research, the book reveals six types of intersubjective, \"joining hands\" relationships that 15M has brought into being and works to carry on in creative ways. The book shows how the movement's way of being and temporality persists in Spain following the square occupations, while 15M citizens continue to learn and move forward in less perceptible ways.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003eDemocracy Here and Now \u003c\/i\u003esheds light on a deeply relational, intersectional, and eco-social mode of democracy, and shows how 15M's ongoing democratization practices are exemplary of similar grassroots movements around the world, broadening our understandings of what it means to be democratic in the here and now.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Pablo Ouziel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1487543174\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781487543174\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/15\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.96lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.35h x 9.31w x 0.71d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2023","brand":"Pablo Ouziel","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44056773165311,"sku":"9781487543174","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9a3e089c-4b42-4a68-b2fd-7cedd197c7ae.jpg?v=1685043192","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/democracy-here-and-now-pablo-ouziel-9781487543174","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
