Product Description

David McNally considers contemporary social activists, and the political and economic orders they resist, in the context of historical capitalism in all its racial, gendered, and imperialist dimensions. Drawing on the experiences of radical movements of workers, peasants and indigenous peoples in Mexico, Korea, Bolivia, Indonesia and Brazil, among other countries, he sketches out an alternative, deeply radical politics based on diversity, internationalism, and moving beyond commodifi cation and the market. Another World is Possible is widely read by activists and scholars. It considers contemporary social movements, and the political and economic orders they resist, in the context of historical capitalism in all its racial, gendered, and imperialist dimensions.

Par Un client
Many radical critiques of globalization list the barbarities of capitalism, but don't propose any alternatives. Others focus on the alternatives (e.g. the 'global justice movement'), but don't link those to the actual operations of capitalism. McNally's book does both, tracing a history of capitalism that's inseparable from resistance.

McNally places today's struggles within a centuries-old fight to resist privatization, the 'enclosure of the commons' that marked the dawn of capitalism and exists whenever those with property try to displace those without. He traces the bloody history of capitalism's formation, from colonialism, to the Cold War, to today's imperialism in Afghanistan.

Along the way there are fascinating insights into the Victorian fear of sexualized, non-white bodies, the struggle for women's liberation and other oppressions. McNally avoids making hierarchies, instead showing the links between class, race and gender. They are all rooted in the very structures of capitalism and need to be theorized as material practices; see, for example, his fascinating discussion of the construction of whiteness as a tool for creating a stratified working class.

"Another World" goes beyond the wealth of existing anti-globalization lit by having an historical vision. It sees our current struggles as part of a worldwide class struggle for human liberation. Socialism hasn't gone away - it's present in new forms of organization, like the Brazilian landless peasants' movement or the Indonesian trade union movement.

It points out that socialism - as a practice and theory - has always existed when people exist; it's not a utopian dream but something we can build. If this review sounds polemical, it's because "Another World" is a polemical book. If you want to get fired up about the prospects for resistance, and if you want a book that links a broad, emancipatory vision with people's real struggles, check it out.
