This collection explores the people and movements driving transformation in urban resilience, agriculture, gender justice, disability inclusion and social change. Spanning contexts from Nicaragua, Nepal, Canada, China, India and Indonesia, these books highlight the experiences, knowledge and leadership of groups whose contributions are too often overlooked; from women farmers and mothers' groups to disability activists and community organisers. Through research, reflection and real-world practice, these titles offer valuable insights into how communities build resilience, challenge inequality and create more inclusive futures.
