WHERE HAVE ALL THE CLASSES GONE? - OKSANA BALAS...

Numerous uprisings and social movements in recent decades sprawled in seemingly disconnected
political landscapes  from Turkey to Brazil  from South Africa to China  from Argentina to
Portugal. These social protests centered on issues as varied as the right to affordable
transportation  land dispossession or minority rights. The place of the working class in them
seemed increasingly insignificant  and the framework of class analysis outdated. But did the
concept of class really become obsolete? Are these social protests as disconnected as they
seem? Where have all the classes gone? A critical perspective on struggles and collective
action is a book that aims to demonstrate the continuing relevance of class analysis in the
study of social movements. Grounded in rich empirical data  it captures class-relevant aspects
of multiple case studies of social movements  uprisings and resistances across different
spatial contexts.
