Reviews

'Striffler cuts through the ambiguous discourse surrounding human rights to offer a precise anatomy of a globalized political economy, structured by class hierarchies, racial and gender exclusions, and reinforced by military power. An indispensable guide for how to be in a world dominated by a form of capitalism that is fast making its peace with fascism' -- Greg Grandin, New York University, author of 'Fortlandia: The Rise and Fall of Henry Ford's Forgotten Jungle City' 'Steve Striffler's masterful account of U.S. and Latin American solidarity is required reading. Exploring multiple stands of 20th century internationalism and incisive in its argumentation, Solidarity pushes us to think about what a radical, left internationalism might look like today' -- Lesley Gill, Professor of Anthropology, Vanderbilt University
