Summary

This is the first book in English by Chico Whitaker, one of the founders of the World Social Forum, the most important political innovation of recent times. He recounts the history of the Forum as seen from the inside -- from the moment the idea to hold it was hatched. He offers a clear, broad view of the multiple dimensions of the initiative. As a handbook it practically constitutes a route map for organizing Social Forums in line with the book's particular way of seeing. Whitaker sees the major challenge facing the Forum today as the struggle to fulfil its role as an "open space" for social justice, solidarity and peace even more widely around the world.
