{"product_id":"9781666927023","title":"Fields of Fire : Emancipation and Resistance in Colombia","description":"\u003cp\u003eFields of Fire: Emancipation and Resistance in Colombia identifies the concept of the emancipatory network as a coordination of loose, discrete, and differentiated actors to explain how activists successfully practice high-risk activism. Illustrating that previous studies on high-risk activism come to contradictory conclusions, Louis Edgar Esparza argues that networks rather than individual characteristics are associated with mobilization. The book features unique ethnographic material of a Colombian sugarcane worker strike and includes interviews with workers and human rights activists in Valle del Cauca and Bogotá that reveal different forms of knowledge that activists bring to a social movement. It argues that the combination of these different forms of knowledge bolsters the movement's resiliency in the face of repression. The book provides a counterfactual chapter, illustrating a lack of mobilization where the emancipatory network is absent. Ultimately, it integrates English and Spanish-language social movement literatures, revealing important theoretical insights, and is detailed with data from various sources to outline the state context of social movement action.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lexington Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48855707255019,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":201.43,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9781666927023-1.jpg?v=1781698568","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/products\/9781666927023","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
