'A strong critique of false prophets and offer their own version of
a people-centered society. The inspirations run from the
indignation of the Global South to the indignados of southern
Europe. From the depths of what appears to be hopelessness,
Pradella and Marois have collected work that tries to rekindle
hope'

the Global South*
