abstract:
This book explores how European social movements have
actively contested the contention that there is no alternative to
capitalism by constructing alternative trading practices in solidarity
with marginalized peoples in the global South. The research uses
the example of the European Zapatista solidarity network
(Redprozapa) to examine the nature of organizations involved in
radical political practices. The organization Ya Basta-Milano, as a
member of the Redprozapa, is focused on to examine in detail the
operation of, and challenges faced by, a political association that
engages in solidarity trade as a form of constructive resistance.
