In a provocative mix of polemic and on-the-ground analysis, Raúl Zibechi argues that it is time for radicals in the Global North to learn from the people their governments have colonized and oppressed for centuries. Through a survey of the most marginalized voices across Latin America--feminists, the Indigenous, people of African descent, and inhabitants of urban \u003cem\u003efavelas\u003c\/em\u003e and shantytowns--he introduces the Anglo world to a range of critical perspectives and new forms of struggle. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor Zibechi, real change comes from \"societies in movement,\" the people already fighting for their survival using egalitarian and traditional models of world-building, without the state, without official representatives, and without vanguards of political experts. His book contributes to global geographies of autonomous and anti-state thinking, with Zibechi placing his work in conversation with the ideological theorist of Kurdish resistance, Abdullah Öcalan, for a rich and dynamic survey of global movements of decolonization. Now more urgent than ever, this translation by George Ygarza Quispe comes at a time when the global left--struggling to expand its vision in a time of climate chaos and rising authoritarianism--finds itself at an impasse, desperate to animate and renew its critical imaginary.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51368284848351,"sku":"9781849355421","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/kYi5Q-nFRF9781849355421.webp?v=1789125186","url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/products\/constructing-worlds-otherwise-societies-in-movement-and-anticolonial-paths-in-latin-america-paperback","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
