Cover; Contents; Preface; Notes on Contributors; 1 Social Movements and/in the Postcolonial: Dispossession, Development and Resistance in the Global South; Part I: Struggles Against Dispossession: Social Movements and the State in the Global South; 2 Labour Protest and Hegemony in Egypt and the Arabian Peninsula; 3 Choice From No Choice; Rights for the Left? The State, Law and the Struggle Against Prepayment Water Meters in South Africa; 4 Neoliberalism and Counter-Hegemony in the Global South: Reimagining the State

The popular classes of the global South are up in arms. From Soweto to Buenos Aires to Bhopal, social movements are making demands for social justice and human dignity against the multiple processes of dispossession that are the hallmark of neoliberalism. Through practices of resistance, these movements transform the direction and meaning of postcolonial development. Popular struggles in the global South suggest the need for the development of new and politically enabling categories of analysis as well as new ways of understanding contemporary social movements in the global South. This book brings together theoretically informed and empirically grounded contributions that interrogate the ways in which social movements in Africa, South Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East politicize development in an age of neoliberal hegemony.
