商品描述

This edited volume presents complex issues surrounding economic and cultural injustices in the global South and the social imaginaries articulated by vulnerable communities in these extractive zones. These organizations of struggle by disenfranchised members in the global South bring forth a collective of knowledge to decolonize organizational theory and think of organizing a more just world.

The essays in this volume critique and connect meanings of "organizations" in relation to neoliberalism, coloniality, and social justice. More specifically, scholars engage with ideas of resistance such as invisible histories in management theory, hybrid collective action, self-determination and indigenous sovereignty, and decolonizing institutions. The chapters also cover a wide range of locations including feminist movements in Latin America, the struggles of Palestinians in self-exile to connect with their homeland, and reproductive labor in Sri Lanka to the decolonial potential of Black Lives Matter in the US and insights into organizing resistance in parts of Asia and Africa.

For scholars and policymakers, this book presents emancipatory essays that interrogate the cultural, social, political, and historical issues pertaining to organizations in the context of the neoliberal economy.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本編輯的專著探討了全球南方在經濟和文化不公方面的複雜議題，以及這些開採區域中脆弱社群所表達的社會想像。這些來自全球南方的被剝奪權利成員所組成的抗爭組織，帶來了一系列知識，以去殖民化組織理論，並思考如何組織一個更公正的世界。

本書中的論文批判並連結了「組織」的意義，與新自由主義、殖民性和社會正義相關。更具體地說，學者們探討了抵抗的概念，例如管理理論中的隱形歷史、混合集體行動、自我決定和原住民主權，以及去殖民化機構。各章節還涵蓋了廣泛的地點，包括拉丁美洲的女性主義運動、巴勒斯坦人在自我流亡中與故鄉連結的鬥爭、斯里蘭卡的生殖勞動，以及美國「黑人的命也是命」運動的去殖民潛力，還有對亞洲和非洲部分地區抵抗組織的見解。

對於學者和政策制定者而言，這本書提供了針對新自由主義經濟背景下組織相關的文化、社會、政治和歷史議題進行質疑的解放性論文。

作者簡介

Mahuya Pal is Associate Professor in the Department of Communication at the University of South Florida. Her critical organizational communication research explores decolonial politics anchored in organizing of resistance by underprivileged communities against institutional power. She contextualizes her research within the twenty-first century concerns about unbridled growth of transnational corporations.

Joëlle Cruz is Associate Professor in the Department of Communication at the University of Colorado Boulder, USA. Her research focuses on intersections of alternative organizing (e.g., grassroots, community-based organizing, and social movements) and culture. A postcolonial and decolonial feminist scholar, Joëlle is interested in rethinking and expanding what constitutes the "margins" in organizational communication.

Debashish Munshi is Professor of Management Communication at the University of Waikato, Aotearoa New Zealand. His scholarly interests weave through critical communication studies, critical management studies, and subaltern historiography. His research explores alternative cultural (especially Indigenous, feminist, and postcolonial) models of building relationships with and among marginalised publics and working towards sustainable futures.
