Summary
Naomi Klein: Fences and Windows
The book "Fences and Windows" gathers comments written over two years at protests and summits around the world, as well as witness reports from the front lines of the dispute about globalization. This book brings us the latest information about the protests but also the prospects for the future, about the hopes for change and the restrictions that are being set.
"Fences and Windows" gathers the most significant articles and talks by Naomi Klein (many of which have not been published before) on issues such as NAFTA, genetically modified organisms and economic fundamentalism. The author also considers the nature of resistance: street protests that shocked and activated millions, the purpose of carnival-style subversion, and apparent disorganization, which represents the strongest side of the movement.
Provocative, intelligent and passionate, the book "Fences and Windows" is a guide to survival in the world economy, a note on globalization and its consequences, and is itself a document of a unique period in our history.
