David Featherstone 
Resistance, Space and Political Identities [EPUB ebook] 
The Making of Counter-Global Networks

Utilizing research on networked struggles in both the 18th-century
Atlantic world and our modern day, Resistance, Space and
Political Identities: The Making of Counter-Global Networks
challenges existing understandings of the relations between space,
politics, and resistance to develop an innovative account of
networked forms of resistance and political activity.

* Explores counter-global struggles in both the past and
present–including both the 18th-century Atlantic world and
contemporary forms of resistance

* Examines the productive geographies of contestation

* Foregrounds the solidarities and geographies of connection
between different place-based struggles and argues that such
solidarities are essential to produce more plural forms of
globalization
