Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor
Trevor Ngwane: Trevor Ngwane is a scholar activist who has over the years devoted as much time to academic work as to community and political activism.

University of South Africa and his BA Honours (Sociology) at the University of the Witwatersrand and PhD at the University of Johannesburg (2016) For two decades he has been active in the trade unions, social movements and political organisations as an organiser and militant, a period that spanned the transition from apartheid to a democratic society. He was also involved in the international movement for social and economic justice and was active for several years in the African Social Forum, a component of the World Social Forum. In 2011 he obtained his MA at the University of KwaZulu-Natal’s School of Development Studies and is currently reading for a PhD at the University of Johannesburg where he is attached to the Research Chair for Social Change in which he is a researcher in the Rebellion of the Poor protest monitoring and database compilation project. Ngwane is currently active in the Socialist Group, Democratic Left Front and United Front, organisations that seek a pro-working class pro-poor future for South Africa and the world.

Urban Revolt (Paperback)
Anbieter: Grand Eagle Retail, Bensenville, IL, USA
Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. The urban poor and working class now make up the majority of the world's population and this segment is growing dramatically as the global population expands to 10 billion by mid-century. Much of the population growth results from the displacement of rural peasants to the urban cores, resulting in the vast expansion of mega-cities with 10 to 20 million people in the global South. The proliferation of informal settlements and slums particularly in the global south have created the conditions in which urban areas have become the principal sites of social upheaval as people seek to improve their living conditions. Drawing from case studies in Africa, Latin America, and Asia, the various chapters in this book map and analyze the ways in which the majority of the world exists and struggles in the contemporary urban context.Advancing beyond a liberal perspective, the book unpacks the ways in which Urban Social Movements (USMs) in the global south have challenged or transformed how the city is organized and the possibilities that they have created for a revolutionary alternative to the capitalist hegemonic framework. Through detailed case studies, Urban Revolt unravels the potential and limitations of urban social movements on an international level. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781608467136
