<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p><em>The Class Strikes Back</em> examines case studies of twenty-first-century workers' struggles from both the Global North and South, highlighting the stories of workers fighting to organize and join democratic and independent unions.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><em>The Class Strikes Back</em> examines a number of radical, twenty-first-century workers' struggles. These struggles are characterised by a different kind of unionism and solidarity, arising out of new kinds of labour conditions and responsive to new kinds of social and economic marginalisation. The essays in the collection demonstrate the dramatic growth of syndicalist and autonomist formations and argue for their historical necessity. They show how workers seek to form and join democratic and independent unions that are fundamentally opposed to bureaucratic leadership, compromise, and concessions.</p><p>Specific case studies dealing with both the Global South and Global North assess the context of local histories and the spatially and temporally located balance of power, while embedding the struggle in a broader picture of resistance and the fight for emancipation.</p><p>Contributors are: Anne Alexander, Dario Azzellini, Mostafa Bassiouny, Antonios Broumas, Anna Curcio, Demet S.
