K. Dellacioppa & C. Weber 
Cultural Politics and Resistance in the 21st Century [PDF ebook] 
Community-Based Social Movements and Global Change in the Americas

By analyzing the cases present in this volume, the editors develop important steps towards a theory of social change that can adequately address the complex realities and intersectionality of identity (race, gender, class, sexuality, nationality) within and among these new movements.
