Another World is Possible

In this book, David McNally, a political science professor at York University in Toronto, Canada, examines the promising new social movements that have risen, especially since the 1990s, from the Chiapas Mountains of Mexico to the streets of Seattle in the USA. The dream of a better world is constantly marching in the streets, chanting slogans, building barricades and defying oppression. McNally emphasizes that these movements, as always, revive hope around the world.

Hope rises with every uprising of the oppressed: Indigenous people revolt against the government in Ecuador, while hundreds of thousands go on general strike in Puerto Rico against the privatization of electricity; labor and Indigenous rebellion repels water privatization in Bolivia; South African workers strike against poverty; Nigerian workers organize mass demonstrations against fuel and transportation price hikes; millions of Indian workers revolt against "globalisation, privatization and liberalisation"; While there is a strike against the "neoliberal model" imposed in Colombia, the streets are mobilizing in Genoa, Italy, and life is being stopped in Paris and other French cities, demanding the withdrawal of the law that makes it easier for employers to kick out young workers. In short, the struggle for true democracy, full equality and a life worth living continues everywhere.

McNally suggests that we listen to the voices of the oppressed and poor all over the world and hear the poetry of the future. He says that although these voices are whispers today, they will turn into roars in the future and will show everyone who is ready to listen that another world is possible.
