Debating Mass Strikes and Social Movements in Brazil and India

         
 

From Class Struggle to Popular Liberation: A Rejoinder

Jörg Nowak | July 11, 2019

It is inspiring to see such a wide variety of comments to my new book,  Mass Strikes and Social Movements in Brazil and India. I will try to address them in a way that synthesises the problems and challenges of the field of labour studies and working-class politics as such. I believe [...]
