Popular Intellectuals And Social Movements Framing Protest In Asia, Africa, And Latin America

All forms of popular protest include a category of 'popular intellectuals', who reflect on social reality, speak in the name of popular classes and who articulate ideas that inspire collective action. This volume focuses on these individuals from an original angle: it looks at the experiences of popular intellectuals in non-western societies, who operate within social-movement networks that link local, regional, and international arenas, and connect to a global flow of ideas. Eight case studies on different societies in twentieth-century Asia, Africa, and Latin America highlight specific activist intellectuals.Baud, Michiel is the author of 'Popular Intellectuals And Social Movements Framing Protest In Asia, Africa, And Latin America' with ISBN 9780521613484 and ISBN 0521613485.
