Description In "The Anticapitalism Movement and African Resistance to Neoliberal Globalization," E. Osei Kwadwo Prempeh addresses ways to understand Africa's location within this world system and to assess the varied resistance movements on the continent. Situating himself in literature examining counterhegemonic social movements that arise out of struggles concerning the ongoing political and economic effects of current forms of primitive accumulation, Prempeh extends this analysis and provides important insight into the "deglobalization" and anticapitalism movements in Africa. By introducing some of the key movements for social justice in the face of processes of dispossession and appropriation, Prempeh gives much needed attention to the forms of social agency emerging within Africa that are struggling to challenge the pervasive forces and promoters of neoliberal globalization on the continent.
