Abstract

Held for the first time outside Latin America since its inception in 2001, the World Social Forum (WSF) met at the NESCO Grounds, Goregaon, Mumbai, India from 16 to 21 January 2004. The meeting brought together many movements with localized perspectives in a forum that sought to strengthen issues of concern that cut across geographical and national boundaries. It was a space for strengthening alliances. The atmosphere at the venue was almost carnival-like, but also fiercely political.
