Description
Provocative, intelligent and passionate, Fences and Windows is a survival guide for life in the world economy, a record of globalization and its consequences, and a document, in its own right, of a unique time in our history.
Fences and Windows collects Naomi Klein's most notable articles and speeches, many of them never before published, on such issues as NAFTA, genetically modified organisms and economic fundamentalism. This book also reflects on the nature of resistance: the street protests that have shocked and energized millions, the purpose of carnival-style subversion, and the apparent disorganization that is the movement's great strength.
