Caitlin Schroering, Ph.D., discusses some of the global urgencies created by water privatization and other forms of water grabbing by showing how people have come together to fight for control of their water. Using examples such as communities in Pittsburgh, PA and Brazil's Movimento dos Atingidos por Barragens (MAB) she explores how activists and movements engage with and learn from each other. Water is at the heart of the book, but it is as much about political economy, collective struggle, and popular organization as it is about water. │chess.charlotte.edu
