{"product_id":"voices-of-the-valley-voices-donatella-della-porta-9781845455156","title":"Voices of the Valley, Voices of the Straits: How Protest Creates Communities","description":"\u003cp\u003e Protest campaigns against large-scale public works usually take place within a local context. However, since the 1990s new forms of protest have been emerging. This book analyses two cases from Italy that illustrate this development: the environmentalist protest campaigns against the TAV (the building of a new high-speed railway in Val de Susa, close to the border with France), and the construction of the Bridge on the Messina Straits (between Calabria and Sicily). Such mobilizations emerge from local conflicts but develop as part of a global justice movement, often resulting in the production of new identities. They are promoted through multiple networks of different social and political groups, that share common claims and adopt various forms of protest action. It is during the protest campaigns that a sense of community is created.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Donatella Della Porta,Gianni Piazza\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1845455150\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781845455156\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Berghahn Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Library Binding\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.78lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.38d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChronicle of Higher Education\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/12\/2008 pg. 25\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2009 pg. 152","brand":"Donatella Della Porta","offers":[{"title":"Library Binding","offer_id":48136915353855,"sku":"9781845455156","price":135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0ebba014-16dd-4f02-9328-dc2e5f80bc0e.jpg?v=1770165302","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/voices-of-the-valley-voices-donatella-della-porta-9781845455156","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
