520 1 $a"When Nelson Mandela was elected president of South Africa in 1994, freedom-loving people around the world hailed a victory over racial domination.

Material inequality has deepened and new forms of solidarity and resistance have emerged in communities that have forged new and dynamic political identities.".

520 8 $aIt describes from the inside how the downtrodden regain their dignity and create hope for a better future in the face of a neoliberal onslaught, and shows the human faces of the struggle against the corporate model of globalization in a Third World country."--BOOK JACKET.
