Description and Table of Contents
Description
People's Rights presents Third World social movements as democratic assertions that challenge the dominant political theory of capitalist globalization. Case studies from Asia (including India, Indonesia and Philippines) and Africa (including Nigeria) of successful and unsuccessful movements demonstrate that the rights sought are not the individualist rights of the West but the minimal political conditions of human existence, which always involve a struggle against class exploitation and social oppression.
