Abstract:
In the wake of the global financial crisis, disparate groups of people are coming together to resist corporate globalization and seek a more positive way forward. But in Argentina such radical transformations have been taking place for years, with workers running factories themselves and people taking over land to build homes and schools. Daring and groundbreaking, Everyday Revolutions tells the story of how ordinary people changed their country and inspired others across the world.
