Collective Movements and Emerging Political Spaces addresses the politics of new forms of collective movements, ranging from anti-austerity protests to migrant struggles and anti-colonial demonstrations.
‘An impressive and compelling edited volume on collective movements and the “counter-discourses” that characterise them. In our turbulent times, this volume provides a critical outlook at the idea of movement, both as mobilisation and emergence of new political subjectivities, engaging with politics of affect and emotions to reframe pressing topics such as migration and nationalism.’
