Description for Social Movements in France
Paperback. Series: French Politics, Society and Culture. Num Pages: 190 pages, biography. BIC Classification: JPA; JPVH. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 216 x 140. .
Contemporary France has witnessed a rise of new forms of social movement, mobilising around new causes and articulating changing demands. Sarah Waters examines the new generation of movements in the last decade, from anti-racism and the movement of the unemployed to solidarity or the associations of the 'Sans' . She argues that emerging movements share a profoundly civic dimension: these are movements about rights and are concerned with who has rights and what those rights are. They manifest a desire to reinvent citizenship in the present day in relation to a new set of social struggles and conflicts.
