""A fascinating narrative of resistance and imagination. From a plurality of voices the authors provide a powerful message for new political hopes"". — Daniele Archibugi, Professor of Innovation, Governance and Public Policy, Birkbeck College, University of London, and a Research Director at the Italian National Research Council in Rome. ""This important new book opens up new and richer dimensions for cosmopolitan thought. Instead of being merely universalist, this book shows that cosmopolitan thought is richer and more diverse. Cosmopolitanism thus must instead be contestatory, global, and universalist at the same time"". —James Bohman, Saint Louis University.
