Abstract

Social movements struggles against neo-liberalism are always both global and local. Resources to fight this ‘global fascism’ on the ground can be found in a mix of the anti-colonial humanist writing of Frantz Fanon, and in the ethical thinking of Alain Badiou. Rajeev Patel argues that both thinkers ask activist to undertake a critical self-reflective engagement as part of the broader political struggle struggle. He looks at how a framework for this kind of global and local reconstruction has been applied in the fight for Food Sovereignty declared by the international peasant organization Via Campesina. Development (2005) 48, 79–83. doi:10.1057/palgrave.development.1100148
