Neoliberalism and Decentralized Activism

From: Take Back the Fight

$2.00

The second chapter, Neoliberalism and Decentralized Activism, provides background on neoliberal economic policy and considers the role of it in the destruction of social movements via the ways it challenged ideas of collective and community action. The chapter also traces the impact of neoliberalism, free trade policies and Canada’s investment into resource extraction on women, Indigenous peoples and people of colour. It looks at how modern feminism needs to respond to these impacts.
