Resumen de Understanding European movements: new social movements, global justice struggles, anti-austerity protest
Cristina Flesher Fominaya (ed. lit.), Laurence Cox (ed. lit.)
European social movements have been central to European history, politics, society and culture, and have had a global reach and impact. Yet they have rarely been taken on their own terms in the English-language literature, considered rather as counterpoints to the US experience. This has been exacerbated by the failure of Anglophone social movement theorists to pay attention to the substantial literatures in languages such as French, German, Spanish or Italian � and by the increasing global dominance of English in the production of news and other forms of media.
