Abstract
Social movements are movements of people in civil society who cohere around issues
and identities that they themselves define as significant (Martin, 1999). The following
quotation describes a group of poor women in South Africa, a group calling itself People’s
Dialogue, who are mobilizing around their need for houses. They are part of a social
movement of women and men internationally who are collectively struggling for access to
land and houses.
