Description
A companion to No Logo.
Since the publication of No Logo, Naomi Klein has become a brilliant and informed contributor to contemporary debate. Fences and Windows: Dispatches from the Front Lines of the Globalization Debate, intended as a companion to No Logo, includes her most notable essays, speeches and articles, providing provocative arguments on a broad range of issues. Fences and Windows, and offers a bird’s-eye view of the life of an activist and the development of the “anti-globalization” movement from the Seattle World Trade Organization protests in 1999 through September 11, 2001. Naomi Klein articulates the concerns and complaints of a generation: about economic fundamentalism, the criminalization of
dissent and the effects of Free Trade. But this book also reflects on the nature of resistance: the street protests that shocked and energized millions. Whether she is discussing the privatization of water; genetically modified food; “free trade;” or the development of the movement itself and its future post 9/11, Naomi Klein is one of the most thoughtful and brilliant activists and thinkers for a new generation.
Fences and Windows: Dispatches from the Front Lines of the Globalization Debate is provocative, intelligent and passionate, a document, in its own right, of a unique time in our history
Praise & Reviews
Time Out
“An accessible, witty, passionate polemic, on the side of the people against all arbitrary and unaccountable systems. An important and timely collection.”
The Big Issue
“Fences and Windows is a great progress report on where the debate’s headed. Read it and worry.”
The Independent on Saturday
“Klein is particularly good at asking the most difficult questions at the right times.”
The Guardian UK
“Fences and windows recur throughout this ardent and inspiring anthology of Naomi Klein’s commentaries, reports and speeches on the very real and present dangers of the “global market economy” . . . . This is a book to be savoured and referred to every so often, even if just to recharge one’s moral batteries. Klein is a fine writer with the gift of conveying much with little, and the ability to put her finger on the social pulse every time.”
