VOICE
& A HOW-TO GUIDE TO THE "NEW RADICALISM"
New strategies, tools, understandings and
inspiration from the new radicalism that is challenging Bush, empire, war and
the system behind them worldwide.
"New radicalism" is a term used to
describe the diverse movement of movements that is inspiring millions to flood
the streets in resistance and to take action in their own communities. The new
radicalism is new both in how popular and widespread it has become, and in its
original methods of organizing for change.
Globalize Liberation weaves
together the experiences and insights of community organizers, direct-action
movements, and global justice struggles from North America, Europe, and Latin
America. It offers clear analysis of our root problems, new strategies and tools
for radical change, and examples of effective organizing campaigns and popular
rebellions‹from the popular rebellion in Argentina to the tomato fields of
Florida, and from the anti-prison organizing in California¹s Central Valley to
the direct action antiwar shutdown of San Francisco¹s Financial District.
David Solnit‹an organizer of the successful shutdowns of the WTO in
Seattle in 1999 and of San Francisco¹s financial district in 2003, and a
cofounder of Art and Revolution, which helped popularize street theater in mass
actions across North America‹edits the collection of thirty-three essays. His
introduction explains how the shared principles of this new radicalism connect
grassroots struggles across the planet into an unprecedented and hopeful global
insurgency.
