The cases--which urban housing movements, anti-waste incineration movements, fights for sexual equality, trade unionism, and East Timorese solidarity actions--are analyzed in terms of five thematic lenses: democracy and participation; non- capitalist production and economic organization; redistribution, recognition, justice, and multicultural citizenship; biodiversity, rival forms of knowledge, and cognitive justice; and new forms of labor internationalism.
