For the first time since the events took place, THE BATTLE OF SEATTLE collects a diverse range of radical left wing opinions on the questions of violence, race, and the future. Compelling interviews and essays from activists and historians such as Stanly Aronowitz, Alexander Cockburn, Peter Lanborn Wilson, Doug Henwood and Medea Benjamin shatter the unconscious prejudices of the average reader, getting them involved in the crucial questions of the day. The book includes an extensive bibliography, an introductory essay by Eddy Yung, and an original and controversial interview with Noam Chomsky that questions Chomsky's understanding of social movements.

Diverse collection of viewpoints...,

This review is from: The Battle of Seattle: The New Challenge to Capitalist Globalization (Paperback)
This collection of articles, essays and interviews is rather diverse, with topics ranging from the longtime worldwide movement against capitalist globalization to more specific events revolving around the protests in Seattle. What I've come to appreciate most about the book is that it comes across rather critical of the movement with several essays detailing some of the shortcomings of the movement and its lack of organization amongst the different active groups, while at the same time not really taking away from their cause, hopefully lending to it by shedding light on what can be done in the future to be more successful.
