This groundbreaking edited collection brings together diverse global perspectives to examine struggles against liberalisms through decolonial, postcolonial, Indigenous, feminist, queer, and intersectional lenses.

Prioritising grassroots experiences and subaltern voices, contributors from around the world explore three critical dimensions: resistance to liberal violence, the agency of those engaged in struggle and the complex challenges of transcending colonial legacies. Through rich case studies spanning continents, the volume reveals both commonalities and differences in experiences of contestation and resistance. It offers fresh insights into identity, recognition and difference in contemporary world politics while amplifying voices often marginalised in academic discourse.
