Rumble in Mumbai
documents the World Social Forum held in Mumbai, India in January,
2004. The forum is a process that began as an alternative to the
World Economic Forum, and to provide a venue for the many disaffected
voices that began to seriously debate globalization in the 1990's.
Over 100,000 people attended this year's forum, all looking to
build solidarity--and a better world.
With interviewees like Shirin Ebadi, Jose Bove,
Nawal Saadawi, and Walden Bello, and featuring eloquent speeches
by Arundhati Roy, Mustafa Barghouti, Jeremy Corbyn, and Irene
Khan, Rumble in Mumbai is packed with
high-caliber critiques of neo-liberalism gone awry, and indictments
of globalization's ill effects.
And as with the forum itself, marginalized voices
are here given a platform to air their grievances: Dalit rights,
handloom weaver unionization, South Asian LGBT issues, communalism
and sectarianism, the plight of Palestinians living in the shadow
of a new Apartheid wall--these issues and many more are explored.
For those unable to attend this year's World
Social Forum, here is your chance. For those looking to understand
the growing global malaise which this forum seeks to address,
Rumble in Mumbai is a good starting point.
