Neoliberalism, Social Exclusion, and Social Movements

Resistance and Dissent in Mexico's Sugar Industry

Neoliberalism, Social Exclusion, and Social Movements critically examines struggles for social justice in an era of neoliberal globalization. Its framework makes significant connections between debt restructuring, privatizations, free-market policies, and grassroots efforts to create alternatives to social and economic exclusion. This book sheds light on internal dynamics of a social movement as Mexican sugarcane growers and mill workers repossessed their sugar refinery in the face of opposition by the private owner and the state.
