| Abstract | "Replace the State brings new hope for social justice movements by looking to progressive campaigns that have found success by occupying contested sites and taking over the day-to-day governance of threatened places. From resisting environmental abuse to reasserting Indigenous sovereignty, these activist movements demonstrate how people can collectively wrest control over their communities from oppressive governments and manage them with a more egalitarian ethics of care"-- Provided by publisher. |
