Social Movements and Anti-Globalization in Africa

By Peter Dwyer and Leo Zeilig

Leading scholars investigate the social forces driving the democratic transformation of post-colonial states across Southern Africa. Extensive research and interviews with civil society organizers in Zimbabwe, South Africa, Zambia, Malawi, Namibia and Swaziland inform this analysis of the challenges faced by non-governmental organizations in relating both to the attendant inequality of globalization and to grassroots struggles for social justice.
