The Anti-Capitalist Dictionary: Movement, Histories And Motivations
This book is an alternative to the many political dictionaries that ignore or marginalize the history and influence of anti-capitalist movements. It paints a rich picture of the ideas and issues that inform today’s anti-capitalist activity – activity that has existed in many forms and under various names, but which has often been ignored, misrepresented or trivialised by the media, academia and political parties. In the wake of Seattle 1999, the continuing dissent around the Bush/Blair regimes, and ongoing commitments to neo-liberalism around the world, the movement continues to flourish. The dictionary is organised in an easily accessible alphabetical format, with self-contained entries for important concepts and issues. It shows how the meaning and relevance of some of these have changed over time, and illustrates linkages between past and present activity.
