An infrastructure of dissent, Sears writes, is ‘the means through which activists develop political communities capable of learning, communicating and mobilising together’. He stresses the importance of the role of theatres, bookstores, choirs, education and sports as integral to movements, rather than external elements. This view of the totality of political and cultural mobilisation is one which today’s social movements are working hard to recapture and revitalise. If they are to succeed, it will be by realising a radical political imaginary which centres the thought of anti-capitalist, feminist, anti-racist, queer liberation, Indigenous and anti-colonial movements.
