Cet ouvrage issu d'une enquête sociologique menée en France 10 ans après les émeutes et révoltes urbaines de 2005 traite de la reformulation des modes d'intervention sociale et politique dans les territoires urbains défavorisés et ségrégués. Il décrit l'émergence d'acteurs sociaux et d'activistes politiques qui, influencés par les débats, méthodes et techniques venues des Etats-Unis, revendiquent oeuvrer pour l' "empowerment" (traduit en français par "le pouvoir d'agir") des habitants des quartiers (im)populaires Après avoir fait l' "état de l'art" d'un point de vue théorique et sociopolitique du pouvoir d'agir et de ses enjeux, en s'appuyant sur les portraits de pacificateurs et producteurs de désordres, il interroge les représentations, actions et raisons d'agir des différents types de promoteurs de l' "empowerment à la française" présents dans les quartiers populaires. Dépassant l'idéalisation de la "participation citoyenne" , il propose alors une modélisation critique de l' "espace du pouvoir d'agir" constitué d'une nébuleuse au sein de laquelle deux figures principales s'opposent : la première s'apparente à un mouvement social (appel à la liberté, à la solidarité, à l'affirmation de soi et à l'émancipation démocratique) tandis que la seconde ressemble à un anti-mouvement identitariste (appel à l'homogénéité ethnique, à l'autodéfense communautaire et à la haine de soi).

""This book explores the concept of "dilemma action," which offers a structured, strategic approach to effective nonviolent struggle. Dilemma actions are designed to create a response dilemma or lose-lose situation for public authorities by forcing them to either concede some public space to protesters or make themselves look absurd or heavy-handed by acting against the protest." --Provided by publisher"--

Environmental Activism on the Ground draws upon a wide range of interdisciplinary scholarship to examine small scale, local environmental activism, paying particular attention to Indigenous experiences. It illuminates the questions that are central to the ongoing evolution of the environmental movement while reappraising the history and character of late twentieth and early twenty-first environmentalism in Canada, the United States, and beyond. This collection considers the different ways in which Indigenous and non-Indigenous activists have worked to achieve significant change. It examines attempts to resist exploitative and damaging resource developments, and the establishment of parks, heritage sites, and protected areas that recognize the indivisibility of cultural and natural resources. It pays special attention to the thriving environmentalism of the 1960s through the 1980s, an era which saw the rise of major organizations such as Greenpeace along with the flourishing of local and community-based environmental activism. Environmental Activism on the Ground emphasizes the effects of local and Indigenous activism, offering lessons and directions from the ground up. It demonstrates that the modern environmental movement has been as much a small-scale, ordinary activity as a large-scale, elite one. With Contributions By: Jonathan Clapperton, Jessica M. DeWitt, Sterling Evans, Zoltán Grossman, Tobasonakwut Peter Kinew, Mark Leeming, Mark J. McLauchlin, Liza Piper, John R. Welsch, Anna J. Willow, and Frank Zelko.
