The Global Resistance Movement is one of the 21st century’s most active and influential organizations. It is a global coalition of millions united in resisting and building alternatives to an out-of-control global economy. It emerged in Mexico in 1994 when the Zapatista rebels rose up in defiance of the North American Free Trade Agreement. The West first noticed it in Seattle in 1999 when the World Trade Organization was stopped in its tracks by 50,000 protesters. More significantly, the anti-capitalist street protests are only the tip of its iceberg. It aims to shake the foundations of the global economy and change the course of history. But what exactly is it? Who is involved, what do they want, and how do they aim to get it? To find out, Paul Kingsnorth traveled across four continents to visit some of the epicenters of the movement. In the process, he was tear-gassed on the streets of Genoa; painted anti-WTO puppets in Johannesburg; met a tribal guerrilla with supernatural powers; took a hot bath in Arizona with a pie-throwing anarchist; and infiltrated the world's biggest gold mine in New Guinea. Along the way, he found a new political movement and a new political idea. It is united in what it opposes and deliberately diverse in what it wants instead.

Travelouge on anti-globalization by one of the best contemporary writers

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 10, 2019

I think Paul Kingsnorth is a great writer, and this book doesn’t disappoint. It’s a great read about his travels around the world chronicling the anti-globalization movement. It is interesting, occaisionally funny, and educational. It is hopeful, from the author’s point of view and from that of many of the people he meets.

That said, I do not share the author’s opinion of globalization and our future. I am very optimistic, but in large part because of globalization and technology. If he is optimistic, it is not for those reasons. The book is now 16 years old, and many of the events occured two decades ago. I would love to know how Mr. Kingsnorth thinks this has played out. Are we moving in the direction he wanted us to, and are we getting there as fast as he expected?

I look forward to his next book, due out this summer.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 9, 2011

I have to say this is one of the best books i've read about the globalization issue. It is immensely easy to read and has many diverse examples from around the world of people fighting back to reclaim or protect their community. Where this book excels in by offering suggestions of things you can do to help so you're not left feeling totally helpless, as I have done after other books of a similar ilk. This is a fantastic book and essential reading in this genre.

Feel free to check out my blog which can be found on my profile page.

i can't believe there are no other reviews. this is not only an important book, but one we shared a bunch while traveling through south america in the last coupla years. It is a beautiful collection of stories (south africa to bolivia to italy to seattle) about the efforts and disappointments of fighting globalized powers. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED....beautifullly written.

Ronald G. Young

One of the best - and just as relevant as when written

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on November 7, 2010

You might think, seven years on, it may now not be worth reading - but it is. And I say this as someone who is fairly well read in this field - for example David Korten's work eg The Post-Corporate World: Life After Capitalism ; Bill McKibben's Deep Economy: Economics as if the World Mattered and David Harvey's The Enigma of Capital: And the Crises of Capitalism .
This sort of book needs to have both good analysis and good praxis (what do we do now?). Unlike many other writers, Kingsnorth provides both by letting other people tell their own stories.
Of course it would be good to have an update - to know the progress the various movements have made and how the characters he met might now amend their views - not least in the light of the latest global crisis. But the book inspires you to do your own research - and indeed take your own action.
Like another reader, I closed this book with a strong commitment to get off my backside and do more to give hope to others.
