It could turn out to be the biggest political movement of the twenty-first century: a global coalition of millions, united in resisting an out-of-control global economy, and already building alternatives to it. It emerged in Mexico in 1994, when the Zapatista rebels rose up in defiance of the North American Free Trade Agreement. The West first noticed it in Seattle in 1999, when the World Trade Organisation was stopped in its tracks by 50,000 protesters. Since then, it has flowered all over the world, every month of every year. The 'anti-capitalist' street protests we see in the media are only the tip of its iceberg. It aims to shake the foundations of the global economy, and change the course of history. But what exactly is it? Who is involved, what do they want, and how do they aim to get it? To find out, Paul Kingsnorth travelled across four continents to visit some of the epicentres of the movement. In the process, he was tear-gassed on the streets of Genoa, painted anti-WTO puppets in Johannesburg, met a tribal guerrilla with supernatural powers, took a hot bath in Arizona with a pie-throwing anarchist and infiltrated the world's biggest gold mine in New Guinea. Along the way, he found a new political movement and a new political idea. Not socialism, not capitalism, not any 'ism' at all, it is united in what it opposes, and deliberately diverse in what it wants instead -- a politics of 'one no, many yeses'. This movement may yet change the world. This book tells its story.

One of the best - and just as relevant as when written

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 November 2010

Verified Purchase

You might think, seven years on, it may now not be worth reading - but it is. And I say this as someone who is fairly well read in this field - for example David Korten's work eg The Post-Corporate World: Life After Capitalism ; Bill McKibben's Deep Economy: Economics as if the World Mattered and David Harvey's The Enigma of Capital: And the Crises of Capitalism .
This sort of book needs to have both good analysis and good praxis (what do we do now?). Unlike many other writers, Kingsnorth provides both by letting other people tell their own stories.
Of course it would be good to have an update - to know the progress the various movements have made and how the characters he met might now amend their views - not least in the light of the latest global crisis. But the book inspires you to do your own research - and indeed take your own action.
Like another reader, I closed this book with a strong commitment to get off my backside and do more to give hope to others.

Pro not anti

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 June 2003

I really wanted to get to know why people protest outside meetings of the WTO and the G8 summit. I wanted to know about the anti-globalisation movement. What this book does is quite superb.
Kingsnorth has travelled around the world to Brazil, South Africa, USA and other places and has met fascinating characters, each of whom is trying to make a difference in their own part of the world. What comes across is that the global resistance movement is somehow not "global", while still worldwide. Each movement the author encounters is doing something specific for their own people, such as obtaining land for dispossessed farmers in Brazil or struggling to provide basic amenities in South Africa. What the author is quick to point out is that despite the localisation of all these movements, they strike a common chord with each other. They all face the same problem, namely, the removal of power from governing bodies to hugely influential corporations and trade organisations.
The author also tries to make it clear that the movement we see on our TV screens is not anti-everything, as the media sometimes makes them out to be, but instead, pro-many things.
This is a fascinating insight into many worthy causes, which we never hear about in the media. We only see the riots and tear gas. Instead there is much more that should be reported on, as is valiantly attempted by the author.

Manish - London Reader

I was obviously in need of an Education

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 April 2003

Having just come off Naomi Klein's "Fences and Windows" and John Pilger's "The New Rulers of the World", I bought this book as it was the newest release in the same section. I read it in three sittings.
And then sat back in the sincere belief I've wasted my life.
Paul Kingsnorth avoids the cliched traps of soapboxing, political preaching and obvious moralising. Instead he's written a powerful account of his travels to the Hotspots at the heart of -as he calls it- "The Movement". He's been to Chiapas to meet the Zapatistas, the people who originally lit the touchpaper and refused to stand back and he was in Genoa when the Itialian Cops went on the rampage during the G8 summit. He's been there, he's seen it, he may not have bought the T-shirt but he kept his notebook handy and I, for one, am very glad. This is someone who cares about his subject, is concerned about the people who place themselves at the front line and conveys these feelings to his readers with admirable ease. The writing is urgent and vital, the stories are exciting, frightening, complex and inspiring. It all comes down to the human spirit and its refusal to lie down, to the hope that tomorrow can be a better day and that true unity does exist.
I've been recommending it to everyone I know, it should be required reading at schools.
Seriously, order it now. It's such an eye opener.

One of the best books on this topic

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 June 2006

I have to say this is one of the best books i've read about the globalization issue. It is immensely easy to read and has many diverse examples from around the world of people fighting back to reclaim or protect their community. Where this book excels in by offering suggestions of things you can do to help so you're not left feeling totally helpless, as I have done after other books of a similar ilk. This is a fantastic book and essential reading in this genre.

Feel free to check out my blog which can be found on my profile page.

a genuine original

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 April 2003

We really don't need yet another book about the evils of globalisation. There are too many around already. Fortunately this isn't one. Instead, it's an elegantly-written, funny and moving travelogue-cum-investigation of what the author believes is the beginning of a global revolution against corporate power, exploitation and the outreach of the new global economy. Kingsnorth spent eight months travelling through various heartlands of rebellion and revolution across several continents, meeting a whole cast of bizarre, inspiring and quite remarkable characters. His writing is immediate and involving, he opens your eyes to the on-the-ground reality of what 'globalisation' does to real people, rather than blinding you with bogus statistics, and he makes you care without telling you what to think. The result is a book that tells you a lot you didn't know, and unfolds some fascinating stories. A genuinely original book, and a must-read if you want to know the real story of what's going on out there, told by someone who has seen it for himself.
