About this title

Synopsis

Examines the emergence of a new type of politics that is active, but fragmented, radical but non-programmatic, and influential but not state-centric. The text includes discussions of issues and movements in the fields of: sexuality; gender; animal rights; drugs; transport; the environment; democracy; and music.

From the Author

We set out in this book to draw together some of the exciting material we saw around us and to mark the emergence of a new radical politics. In a sense, we were being postsocialist and socialist by saying 'the left as we've known it has been passed by but there are new radical groups carrying forward the attempt to change society and eliminate oppression'.

We wanted to include both examples of particular movements, written not just by academics looking on but also by activists and to provoke some in the academic community to engage a bit more closely with the meaning of these movements; rather than carrying on obsessions with 'New Labour' or Democratic governments. We think there are not only some great stories in this volume but some important analyses of what it all means.

We're continuing the discussion by organising discussion events (email Tim at t.r.jordan@uel.ac.uk, if you want to be included on announcement lists) and continuing our work. There is also now an MA in Political Activism and Social Movements in the Sociology Department at the University of East London to teach the topics that Storming the Millennium covers.

i But not such a caricature as to be unsupported by many analyses, see M.Castells, The Rise of the Network Society: The Information Age Volume 1, Oxford, Blackwell, 1996, S.Hall and M.Jaques (eds), New Times: the changing face of politics in the 1990s, London, Lawrence and Wishart, 1989, or D.Harvey, The Condition of Postmodernity, Oxford, Blackwell, 1989. ii See J.Pakulski, 'Social Movements and Class: the decline of the Marxist paradigm', in L.Maheu (ed) Social Movements and Social Classes, London, Sage, 1995, pp.55-86, E.Laclau, New Reflections on the Revolution of Our Time, London, Verso, 1990, or T.Jordan, Reinventing Revolution: value and difference in new social movements and the left, Aldershot, Avebury, 1994
