Reviews
'The best guidebook that I know for re-imagining a progressive politics responsive to the challenges of the 21st century. It brings together the ideas, language, and imaginings of the most articulate voices on the global stage.' Richard Falk, Princeton University 'The Second World Social Forum was a carnival of ideas and solidarities. Another World is Possible captures superbly their many alternatives to neoliberalism and provides one big Ya Basta to the status quo.' Thomas Mertes, co-author of A Movement of Movements A brilliant series of collective thoughts by those who built the WSF on all the major topics of an emancipatory project for the twenty-first century. Indispensable reading for a new generation of activists.' Geoffrey Pleyers, author of Alter-Globalization 'This new edition reminds us of not only how original and timely the World Social Forum was and what a global impact it had, but also of how changing times are challenging the WSF a decade and more later. Strongly recommended.' Peter Waterman, co-editor of World Social Forum: Challenging Empires 'A fascinating and valuable reflection of political reality.' Roger S. Gottlieb, Tikkun
