Rebel territories

by Raúl Zibechi

Description

Raúl Zibechi is one of the most important researchers of social struggles in Latin America, and his work expresses a fundamental tradition of radical thought in the region, which is closely connected to territories and collective movements. Despite his immense relevance, only a very small part of his work has been published in Portuguese. This collection aims to help remedy this publishing gap in Brazil, but also to reverberate a type of intervention that takes up the autonomist hypothesis of struggles, in order to continue thinking and walking with those who resist on a continent conflagrated by the permanent war against peoples. It is not as an intellectual or illustrious avant-garde theoretician that this Uruguayan writer, activist and journalist appears to those who come across his texts and interventions. Zibechi appears to us, first and foremost, through the movements he accompanies, through his complicity with those who fight and think with their feet on the ground. This attitude is reflected in the form of his texts, which are marked by direct and open language, without academicism and committed to the circulation of issues as they are formulated in the contexts in which they arise.
