Description
This book argues for Gramsci’s theory of the formation of a transnational counter-hegemonic bloc, by studying methods of modern resistance and new forms of solidarity between these forming groups. With case studies of the Gezi Park Protests in Turkey, social movements in Ireland and the Lampedusa in Hamburg, the authors consider how diverse new migrant political actors, newfound cross-border alliances, and spaces of resistance shape the political dimensions of protest.
As migrants are often deprived of agency and placed outside the mobilisations taking place across Europe, Solidarity without Borders demonstrates how new solidarity relations are shaped and how these may construct a new common ground for struggle and for developing political alternatives.

Media Reviews
'Theoretically innovative and empirically rich, this volume helps addressing fundamental questions about the creation of spaces of resistance by building upon Antonio Gramsci's reflections on the Southern question' -- Donatella Della Porta, Professor of Sociology, Department of Political and Social Sciences, European University Institute
'This book's Gramscian perspective provides a welcome corrective to nationalist migration scholarship that naturalises borders and a migrant/native divide' -- Nina Glick Schiller, Emeritus Professor, Social Anthropology, University of Manchester and Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology
