Summary

Exciting new lessons for activists from those struggling in the Global South

Laboratories of Learning Summary

Laboratories of Learning: Social Movements, Education and Knowledge-Making in the Global South by Mario Novelli

Laboratories of Learning proves, through exploring inspiring social movements and activists around the world, that the education and knowledge making happening inside these movements is crucial for the future of social justice for all.

It asks three simple but profound questions: How do movements learn and make knowledge? What kinds of knowledge do movements make? And what is its effect on individual activists, movements, and even whole societies? Written in collaboration with leading activists from different movements in Turkey, Colombia, Nepal and South Africa, each case shows that these activists in the Global South, working in some of the most complex and conflict-affected contexts, can offer us exciting insights into the myriad of ways that movements learn and produce knowledge as they struggle for a better world.

Designed to inspire and innovate, Laboratories of Learning is an opportunity for activists to learn new, ground-breaking ideas, born out of moments working at the intersection of theory and practice, pushing the boundaries of new thinking and the limits of the possible.

Laboratories of Learning Reviews

'In social movements, people remake themselves and re-imagine their worlds - and learn how to do so. This powerful and inspiring book shows that movement education is not a luxury but a central part of effective struggle.'

-- Laurence Cox, author of 'Why Social Movements Matter'

'Grounded in an impressive record of scholar-activism, the authors take us on a rich and fascinating journey about the power of collective knowledge and learnings produced by social movements in Turkey, Colombia, Nepal and South Africa. It is a valuable, refreshingly accessible example of inter-movement solidarity and a much-needed tribute to the 'spaces of learning' offered by social movements, including alternatives, through praxes and in the ferment of social struggles.'

-- Salim Vally, co-editor of 'Against Racial Capitalism'

'This major intervention provides a fascinating account of how social movements in the Global South produce crucial learning and knowledge in moments of struggle. Important lessons to be learned for every activist in the Global North about ways of building peace with social justice.'

-- Andreas Bieler, author of 'Fighting for Water'

'Social movements struggling to overcome the injustices and inequalities of capitalist globalization, and its enforcer state repression, require the continuous construction and reconstruction of learning and other knowledge-making processes. This remarkable book draws on experiences from Colombia, Turkey, Nepal and South Africa, showing us that movements can become veritable schools where new strategies and ideas are tested and framed.'

-- Fatma Goek, Bogazici University
