Description
Global Movements: Action and Culture explores three significant global social movements of the last decade: anti-globalization, new Islamic movements, and the Falun Gong in China. These movements challenge our understanding of culture, power, and action in a rapidly changing world. The book examines key dimensions of these movements, the tensions they face, and the crises that sparked them. By analyzing these global movements, McDonald demonstrates how they require a fundamental rethinking of what it means to be part of a social movement. This insightful analysis offers valuable perspectives on the complexities of global social change.
