'Andy Mathers has written a timely book. His subject is transnational mobilizing, a topic whose importance has only increased in the period since his original investigation. Anyone interested in contemporary popular protest should read and learn. The book's argument for a class analysis of social movements needs to be heard widely amongst activists and academics alike.' Colin Barker, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK 'Based on a detailed study of the European Marches movement as a researcher-activist , Andy Mathers provides a powerful class analysis of contemporary social movements. He puts labour right at the heart of resistance to neo-liberal globalisation, exactly where it should be. A must-read for all critical academics, progressive trade unionists and social movement activists alike.' Andreas Bieler, University of Nottingham, UK '...a theoretically informed, empirically detailed and systematically analyzed account, written by a self-reflective academic involved in the movement he is studying. It is also a well-written story which, whilst optimistic, is snesitive to contradictions both around and within his movement.' Journal of Contemporary European Studies
