But it also opened space for \u003cbr\u003erediscovering democratic, society-centered and anti-capitalist modes of \u003cbr\u003ebottom-up change, operating at a distance from the state. This resurgent\u003cbr\u003e alternative has influenced the Zapatistas in Mexico, Rojava in Syria, \u003cbr\u003eOccupy, and independent unions and struggles worldwide around austerity, \u003cbr\u003e land, and the city. Its lineages include anarchism, syndicalism, \u003cbr\u003eautonomist Marxism, philosophers like Alain Badiou, and popular praxis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis\u003cbr\u003e pathbreaking volume helps recover this once sidelined politics, with a\u003cbr\u003e focus on South Africa and Zimbabwe.
