Looking at specific cases ranging from the British miners' strike, to making gender central to the Guatemalan peace process, the book documents activists challenging the boundaries of work, environment, reproduction, community, democracy, and politics. The book looks at recent and diverse examples of resistance: women fighting for environmentalism and reproductive rights, mobilizing against poverty and racism, fighting inequalities imposed by structural adjustment, and campaigning for human rights.
