It focuses on the nature and forms of local resistance against global domination by pre-defined but rearticulated social categories like caste, race, tribe, and ethnic groups, and the emerging nature of ttie protest of women, farmers, students, and migrants in a changing`scenario citing social movements taking place in North and South America, Eastern and Western Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia.
