RC47 Social Classes and Social Movements (host committee)

Language: English

The papers in this session will give an account of the array of resistance efforts on the African continent, notably South Africa. Panelists will seek to engage with, challenge and modify northern-centric perspectives on the study of social movements in an effort to advance a theoretical approach that is more relevant to the global south.
