Living Radical Politics after Socialism<http://www.combinedacademic.co.uk/bastards-of-utopia>
Maple Razsa
"Dramatic proof that the struggle for liberty is irrepressible." -Howard Zinn, author of A People's History of the United States, on the companion film, reviewing a previous edition or volume
"An innovative narrative ethnography of postsocialism, radical activism, and the alterglobalization/Occupy movements.... [G]reatly expands the scope and purview of our knowledge of alterglobalization activism, most accounts of which focus on North America and Western Europe... [W]ritten in a clear and compelling style that brings the reader into the thick of the action." -Jeffrey Juris, author of Networking Futures: the Movements against Corporate Globalization
"The book's cast of characters proves outspoken and sometimes violent, willing to don gas masks and wield Molotov cocktails during standoffs with authorities. In this manner, Razsa brings a personal note to his academic treatment of politics, protest, transnational movements, and globalization...This book will prove a boon to anyone interested in understanding the diverse world of contemporary protest, as variously made manifest in the Occupy Movement, the Arab Spring, and Ferguson." -Publishers Weekly
Bastards of Utopia, the companion to a feature documentary film of the same name, explores the experiences and political imagination of young radical activists in the former Yugoslavia, participants in what they call alterglobalization or "globalization from below." Ethnographer Maple Razsa follows individual activists from the transnational protests against globalization of the early 2000s through the Occupy encampments. His portrayal of activism is both empathetic and unflinching-an engaged, elegant meditation on the struggle to re-imagine leftist politics and the power of a country's youth. More information on the film can be found at www.der.org/films/bastards-of-utopia.html<http://www.der.org/films/bastards-of-utopia.html>
Maple Razsa is Associate Professor of Global Studies at Colby College. A documentary filmmaker, his work includes Bastards of Utopia (2010) and Occupation: A Film about the Harvard Living Wage Sit-In (2002; both with Pacho Velez).
