Beskrivning
Bringing together contributionsfrom an international group of social scientists, this collection examinesdiverse crises, both historical and contemporary, which implicate marketforces, widening inequalities, social exclusion, forms of resistance, and ideologicalpolarisation. The Commonalities ofGlobal Crises offers carefully researchedcase studies which stretch across large geographical distances- from Egypt tothe US and from northern, central, eastern and southern Europe to SouthAmerica- and covers timely issues including human rights, slavery, care,migration, racism, and the far right. The volume demonstrates that suchdifferent settings and diverse concerns are characterized by a common tensionin which the crises that unfold around pressures of widening marketization andcommodification are met by the (re)building or re-assertion of variouscommunities, and competing politics of solidarity and nostalgia.
