It documents the actions of four major groups that are using transnational social mobilisation to achieve recognition of their identities and their rights. The result is a greater pluralism in global identity politics and a wide range of new group-specific standards that can inform policies on multiculturalism, political participation, and socio-economic inclusion in the national and international spheres. The book begins by summarising the learning from the global movements of indigenous peoples and Roma. The book then focuses in greater depth on the cases of Afro-descendants in Latin America and of Dalits and caste-affected groups in South Asia and beyond. Each case study shows the historical roots of group-specific transnational mobilisation and how activists have constructed a distinct identity frame out of shared experiences. The book explores key parallels and differences between the discourse, framing strategies, organisational structures and political opportunities used in each case to show which factors have influenced the success or failures of their norm entrepreneurship. The role that international institutions have played in supporting these efforts is given special attention, including intergovernmental bodies such as the UN, the EU and the OAS, and international non-governmental organisations. The UN World Conference Against Racism is explored as a particularly significant political opportunity across the cases. Among academic audiences, this book will appeal to those researching minority rights, social movements, global governance, discrimination and multiculturalism from legal, political, sociological and critical theory perspectives. It will also interest practitioners and activists working on minority rights and the challenges of norm compliance, socio-economic inclusion and governance"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 00 $a Roma $x Civil rights. 650 0 $a Indigenous peoples $x Civil rights. 650 0 $a Blacks $x Civil rights $z Latin America. 650 0 $a Dalits $x Civil rights. 650 7 $a Blacks $x Civil rights. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00833892 650 7 $a Dalits $x Civil rights. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00887189 650 7 $a Indigenous peoples $x Civil rights. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00970219 651 7 $a Latin America. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01245945 776 08 $i Online version: $a Lennox, Corinne, $t Transnational social mobilisation and minority rights $d Milton Park, Abingdon, Oxon ; New York, NY : Roultedge, 2020. $z 9780429399183 $w (DLC) 2019043315 830 0 $a Routledge studies in development and society. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231018024137.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=EA722900C7F211EAB1F2873797128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
