      abstract = {"In the wake of the global financial crisis, new forms of  social organization are beginning to take shape. Disparate  groups of people are coming together in order to resist  corporate globalization and seek a more positive way  forward. These movements are not based on hierarchy; rather  than looking to those in power to solve their problems,  participants are looking to one another. In certain  countries in the West, this has been demonstrated by the  recent and remarkable rise of the Occupy movement. But in  Argentina, such radical transformations have been taking  place for years. Everyday Revolutions tells the story of  how regular people changed their country and inspired  others across the world. Reflecting on new forms of social  organization, such as horizontalism and autogestión, as  well as alternative conceptions of value and power, Marina  Sitrin shows how an economic crisis spurred a people's  rebellion; how factory workers and medical clinic  technicians are running their workplaces themselves,  without bosses; how people have taken over land to build  homes, raise livestock, grow crops, and build schools,  creating their own art and media in the process. Daring and  groundbreaking, Everyday Revolutions serves as an  instructive example for activists the world over. It shows  how the experiences of the autonomous movements in  Argentina can help answer the question of how to turn a  rupture into a revolution."--Publisher's website.},
