Two dozen authors look beyond the spectacular shutdowns and protests to introduce the reader to farmers in Iowa, industrial workers in Tennessee, and antisweatshop activists in Maine who connect global injustices to the issues in their own front yards. The authors range from movement &#8220;stars&#8221; to unsung heroes challenging the world&#8217;s largest corporations. Since the Seattle protests, the globalization movement has been &#8220;localizing&#8221; its work. Global and local activists have joined forces to protest the prison-industrial complex, corporate campaign financing, and clear-cut logging. Whether the cause is antiracism, the environment, genetic engineering, human rights, immigration, labor solidarity, or reproductive rights, strategies are outlined to make a difference and change an attitude. &#8220;Localizing globalization&#8221; in this way presents its own challenges, however, and the book takes them up. After framing articles to set a context, case studies describe how activists across the country are meeting each challenge according to their local realities. Protest photos, cartoons, and outrageous quotes by world economic leaders provide an ironic running commentary to the text.</div> 343464 2001 The Global Activist's Manual: Local Ways to Change the World total:19|5:9|4:3|3:5|2:1|1:1| 19 75 85 0 0 0 false false Fri Nov 20 11:10:29 -0800 2009 Fri Nov 20 11:10:29 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Mon Nov 09 08:11:36 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 09 08:11:36 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Wed Oct 28 19:18:46 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 28 19:18:50 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Oct 14 12:32:06 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 14 12:32:06 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Sep 25 08:04:08 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 25 08:04:08 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Sep 15 07:37:42 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 15 07:37:42 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Aug 15 15:50:00 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 15 15:50:00 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Aug 14 20:01:23 -0700 2009 Fri Aug 14 20:01:23 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Aug 12 02:06:34 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 12 02:06:34 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Jul 17 18:10:33 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 17 18:10:33 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Jul 14 09:16:54 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 28 09:38:39 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue May 26 03:41:58 -0700 2009 Tue May 26 03:41:58 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Sat May 16 11:36:06 -0700 2009 Sat May 16 11:36:06 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri May 15 16:16:57 -0700 2009 Fri May 15 16:16:57 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed May 13 08:58:30 -0700 2009 Wed May 13 08:58:30 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Apr 11 16:49:31 -0700 2009 Sat Apr 11 16:49:31 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Tue Apr 07 08:03:52 -0700 2009 Tue Apr 07 08:03:52 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Apr 05 11:35:14 -0700 2009 Sun Apr 05 11:35:14 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Mon Mar 30 10:25:40 -0700 2009 Mon Mar 30 10:25:40 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Mar 29 13:24:01 -0700 2009 Sun Mar 29 13:24:01 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=353253
