Such an alliance, as Anthony R. Pahnke shows, is unusual given how social movement alliances in the United States, particularly those related to agrarian issues, have historically been deeply divided by race and occupation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Pahnke’s study offers a novel theory for social movement alliance formation, focusing especially on the dynamics of learning. He documents how since the 1980s there have been unprecedented openings for people to work together due to the rise of transnational activist networks, changes in the international political economy, and evolving forms of state authority.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Foregrounding the voices of activists, \u003ci\u003eMobilizing Hope, Fighting for Change\u003c\/i\u003e compares the trajectories of four U.S.-based movements over time-the Mvskoke Food Sovereignty Initiative based in Oklahoma, the Family Farm Defenders of Wisconsin, the Farmworker Association of Florida, and the Mississippi Association of Cooperatives-documenting how they have united in demanding food sovereignty while remaining distinct from one another.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56700079866230,"sku":"9781496243454","price":47.72,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_38805582.jpg?v=1764370923","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781496243454-mobilizing-hope-fighting-for-change","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
