It is, of course, true that neoliberalism was spectacularly ushered in by shattering working-class resistance in some key workplaces in India, Australia, the UK, and the US. Revolutionary Rehearsals in the Neoliberal Age, however, compels us to be attentive to a different view of this era. Tracing revolutionary uprisings from 1989 to 2019, this book is a map of resistance and resilience in the face of tremendous odds. The case studies, as well as the introductory essay, lead us through situations where the victory of capitalism over humanity was anything but assured. And yet the book is not a wistful history about what could have been. Rather, it is a strategic assessment of near-victories to prepare us for the fire next time." —Tithi Bhattacharya, coauthor of Feminism for the 99%"This fine collection of essays deals with some of the most significant revolutionary situations in the neo-liberal era. It makes great reading, with powerful arguments, and concludes with a wager on the future: climate change is a terrible danger, but it has revolutionary potential, because it cannot be prevented by partial reforms which do not challenge the capitalist system itself." —Michael Löwy, author of Revolutions and Ecosocialism"What remains of revolution after decades of neoliberalism? The question is both perplexing and urgent. With realism and radical intransigence, Revolutionary Rehearsals in the Neoliberal Age tackles it head on. Acknowledging the inadequacy of longstanding left-wing models to our era, the authors gathered here also refuse to counsel despair. Instead, they trace emancipatory impulses and upheavals across the scorched landscape of neoliberalism. The result is a provocative, stimulating, and deeply radical set of reflections on the meaning of revolution today. This is a book for everyone who wants to change the world." —David McNally, author of Blood and Money and Monsters of the Market"How can popular movements not only topple repressive governments, but also create more thoroughly democratic, egalitarian, and solidaristic societies? This is the question that animates the contributions to Revolutionary Rehearsals in the Neoliberal Age, which examines a wide range of revolutionary situations from 1989 to 2019. The case studies, which are well researched and insightful, include Central and Eastern Europe; Africa, including South Africa; Indonesia; Argentina, Bolivia, and the pink tide in Latin America; and Egypt. The theoretical reflections by Colin Barker and Neil Davidson are provocative and challenging. This volume will interest anyone who seeks to understand popular uprisings and revolutions and the ways in which capitalism motivates, structures, and constrains them." —Jeff Goodwin, Professor of Sociology, NYU Promotional Galley mailing to reps, bookstores, media, and available on requestVirtual Author eventsPromotion to labor unions and immigrant justice groupsSocial media influencer campaign to promote the bookPitch reviews to Huffington Post, La Raza, Los Angeles Times, Truthout, Mother Jones, Jacobin, and morePromotion through social media: Haymarket Books has 125k Twitter followers, 65k Facebook fans, and 40k Instagram followers Long Description This volume offers a comprehensive introduction for activists, general readers, and specialists interested in the history and politics of revolutionary movements, uprisings, and revolts in the neoliberal era.
