AB  - Drawing on fieldwork with Brazil’s Movimento dos Atingidos por Barragens (MAB), the
author argues that MAB’s struggle is not just around those affected by dam projects;
rather it is a part of a larger “alter-globalization” project. The author posits that MAB is
not simply a social movement actor but a producer of knowledge that articulates theory
and praxis resisting the larger hegemonic imperialist system. In this paper the following
questions are explored: What can academia learn from social movements? How do
scholars produce research that does not reinforce power hierarchies? And how do we
create collaborative research?
