Eric D. Larson presents a timely look at the last time the concept spurred unruly agitation: the late twentieth century. Offering a transnational history of the emergence of the global justice movement in the United States and Mexico, he considers how popular organizations laid the foundations for this “movement of movements.” Farmers, urban workers, and Indigenous peoples grounded their efforts to confront free-market reforms in frontline struggles for economic and racial justice. As they strove to change the direction of the world economy, they often navigated undercurrents of racism, nationalism, and neoliberal multiculturalism, both within and beyond their networks. Larson traces the histories of three popular organizations, examining the Mexican roots of the idea of food sovereignty; racism and whiteness at the momentous Battle of Seattle protests outside the 1999 World Trade Organization meetings; and the rise of dramatic street demonstrations around the globe. Juxtaposing these stories, he reinterprets some of the crucial moments, messages, and movements of the era.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49747331875089,"sku":"NGR9780520388574","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53521152966929,"sku":"NLS9780520388574","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0520388577.jpg?v=1751230360"},{"product_id":"analysis-of-information-referenced-testing-as-an-air-force-assessment-tool-book-eric-d-larson-9781288409013","title":"An Analysis of Information Referenced Testing as an Air Force Assessment Tool","description":"The Department of Defense (DOD) has placed a great deal of importance on training and education, throughout all areas of infrastructure development and force implementation. A more knowledgeable operating unit, in any situation, is consistently the deciding factor for success. The United States Air Force, too, has emphasized this ideal and sought to employ those persons most qualified for the required task. Yet, problems within the classroom and various training venues are always present and should be continually marked for improvement. Existing assessment techniques should provide an accurate account of the quality of information learned by DOD personnel. This is undoubtedly crucial to war and peacetime functions. Therefore, testing as an assessment tool should be challenged, and new procedures -- if deemed effective -- should be recognized and introduced. This thesis looks at examination methods based on confidence-level items and two-dimensional feedback mechanisms. Information Referenced Testing (IRT) has been designed to more effectively measure and reflect the amount of knowledge attained by a student. The following research is an examination of IRT and its role in Air Education and Training Command. It will study two-dimensional items in multiple-choice examinations as a legitimate assessment tool for students, instructors, and administrators.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51022626160913,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51022626423057,"sku":"NIN9781288409013","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/128840901X.jpg?v=1751271589"},{"product_id":"grounding-global-justice-book-eric-d-larson-9780520388567","title":"Grounding Global Justice","description":"The rise of Trumpism and the Covid-19 pandemic have galvanized debates about globalization.
