Converging Social Justice Issues and Movements posits that a multitude of contemporaneous converging crises have profoundly transformed the backdrop and focal point of political contests surrounding agrarian, climate, environmental, and food justice concerns. This shift impacts alliances, cooperation, and conflicts among and between state and social forces, as well as within and between social movements. The precise ramifications and mechanisms driving these transformations remain largely empirical in nature, necessitating thorough investigation. The majority of the discussions within this volume revolve around the issue of responses to the crises from both capitalist forces and those adversely impacted by them, as well as the implications of these for academic research and political activism. With an interdisciplinary approach, Converging Social Justice Issues and Movements holds immense value for scholars engaged in agrarian politics, as well as climate and environmental justice studies. The chapters were initially published as a special issue in Third World Quarterly.
