| Zusammenfassung: | This book examines how asbestos activists living in remote rural villages in South Africa activated metropolitan resources of representation at the grassroots level in a quest for justice and restitution for the catastrophic effects on their lives caused by the asbestos industry. It follows the Asbestos Interest Group (AIG) over a fifteen-year period through its involvement in grassroots research, in legal cases and in the compensation systems for asbestos-related disease. It examines how the AIG became grassroots technicians of translocal paperwork, moving texts back and forth between periphery and center, pushing documents through the textual mazeways of the courts, medical institutions, the compensation system and various government agencies. The book addresses rhetorical mobility and the extent to which, given the AIG’s position on the periphery, it has been able to enter the voices and interests of villagers into formerly inaccessible forums of deliberation and decision-making |

It follows the Asbestos Interest Group (AIG) over a fifteen-year period through its involvement in grassroots research, in legal cases and in the compensation systems for asbestos-related disease. It examines how the AIG became grassroots technicians of translocal paperwork, moving texts back and forth between periphery and center, pushing documents through the textual mazeways of the courts, medical institutions, the compensation system and various government agencies. The book addresses rhetorical mobility and the extent to which, given the AIG’s position on the periphery, it has been able to enter the voices and interests of villagers into formerly inaccessible forums of deliberation and decision-making asbestos activism asbestos asbestosis environmentalism of the poor grassroots activism grassroots literacy paperwork studies sociolinguistics of globalization POLITICAL SCIENCE / Political Process / Political Advocacy bisacsh Asbestos industry Health aspects South Africa Kuruman Asbestos miners Political activity South Africa Kuruman Asbestos Law and legislation South Africa Kuruman Evidence, Documentary South Africa Kuruman Literacy Political aspects South Africa Kuruman Sociolinguistics South Africa Kuruman Widerstandsgruppe (DE-588)4403038-1 gnd rswk-swf Asbestindustrie (DE-588)4143197-2 gnd rswk-swf Protestbewegung (DE-588)4226404-2 gnd rswk-swf Gesundheitsschaden (DE-588)4157178-2 gnd rswk-swf Südafrika (DE-588)4078012-0 gnd rswk-swf Südafrika (DE-588)4078012-0 g Asbestindustrie (DE-588)4143197-2 s Gesundheitsschaden (DE-588)4157178-2 s Protestbewegung (DE-588)4226404-2 s DE-604 Widerstandsgruppe (DE-588)4403038-1 s Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe 978-1-78892-680-5 https://doi.org/10.21832/9781788926812 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext |
