Solidarity is central to the political left. Dave Featherstone’s innovative account positions solidarity as an ongoing and transformative political relationship. He traces vibrant forms of internationalism from below through a variety of case studies, from anti-slavery and anti-fascist organizing to climate change activism and boycotts of Coca-Cola. This affirms solidarity as an indispensable tool for forging more equal worlds. Featherstone is also the author of “Resistance, Space and Political Identities: The Making of Counter-Global Networks†as well as the co-editor of “Spatial Politics: Essays for Doreen Massey.â€
