About this title

Synopsis:

This is the second volume, after "Democratizing Democracy", of the collection "Reinventing Social Emancipation: Towards New Manifestoes". Here, the author examines alternative models to capitalist development through case studies of collective land management, cooperatives of garbage collectors and women's agricultural cooperatives. He also analyzes the changing capital-labor conflict of the past two decades and the way labor solidarity is reconstituting itself under new forms from Brazil to Mozambique and South Africa.

Review:

"In the 1980s Margaret Thatcher declared 'There is no alternative.' At the beginning of the 21st century the World Social Forum replied, 'Another World is Possible.' The project, "Reinventing Social Emancipation", is a passionate and wide-ranging effort at enriching our vision of that other world."--Erik Olin Wright, University of Wisconsin (in praise of the Reinventing Social Emancipation project)
