The transnational resistances to neo-liberal globalization are arguably the most inspiring political movements of our time. \u003ci\u003eResistance, Space and Political Identities: The Making of Counter-Global Networks\u003c\/i\u003e makes a distinctive contribution through examining globalized practices of resistance in both the past and present. Stressing the importance of geographies of connection and solidarity produced through these struggles, David Featherstone argues that the resulting forms of political identity are integral to producing more just and pluralistic forms of globalization.  \u003cp\u003eThis provocative text first offers detailed research on networked forms of resistance in the eighteenth-century Atlantic world, then develops a rigorous study of contemporary counter-global resistances. Insightful and thought-provoking, the author develops an innovative account of networked forms of resistance and political activity. This scholarly work illuminates transnational resistances and challenges prevailing assumptions about the histories and geographies of globalization.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"This book powerfully engages with contemporary relational understandings of space by drawing upon, critiquing and developing a rich theoretical palette. This together with the use of evocative ethnographic material serves to provide a convincing account of how political identities are created, reworked and deployed in networked practices of resistance. The book makes a significant contribution to the theorizing and explaining of political identities and practices forged through the articulation of resistance in empirically varied contexts.\"\u003cbr\u003e—\u003cb\u003ePaul Routledge\u003c\/b\u003e, University of Glasgow\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"Featherstone's focus on the extra-local ties underpinning situated subaltern struggle offers a salutary alternative to conventional accounts of place-based resistance.
