Den globalen Süden mitdenken!

Abstract

Against the background of the severest migration crisis in history, which is only one dimension of a broader civilizatory crisis, this article argues that antiracist movements should not focus solely on issues of human mobility rights, but build new paths of solidarity with societies in the geopolitical Global South. Problematizing the dominant notions of what really is a good life, thinking social welfare globally and linking up with movements like ecofeminism or degrowth could not only open new possibilities to address the fears of social relegation through immigration in the Global North; it also would make possible a new internationalism, where people of the North and the South cooperate to overcome the current colonial division of Nature and labour and what has been called the imperial mode of living.
