New Releases by Naomi Klein

Seeing the horrific scars inflicted on a country under stress, and the deeply shocking motives for it, no reader will be able to look at the Iraqi Invasion with same eyes as before.

Il y a quelques semaines, le personnel du Pentagone a visionné " La Bataille d''Alger ", un classique anticolonialiste. Aveu idéologique que la campagne irakienne est du même ordre que la guerre d''Algérie ou que celle du Vietnam. Au même moment, on apprenait, lors d''un congrès d''investisseurs, que McDo pourrait commencer à vendre des Big Mac et des frites en Irak dans les prochains mois. Si cette nouvelle vous enchante, ne lisez pas ce livre. Face à cette recolonisation, le mouvement pacifiste doit se poser la question de la résistance à la Pax Americana. Que voir dans cette guerre d''un type nouveau et dans les récents actes de résistance contre l''occupant ? Et surtout, que faire ? Dans cet ouvrage collectif, les auteurs retracent l''histoire de cette guerre coloniale, de la reconstruction indécente, et mettent en évidence les tentatives de résistance à l''occupation. En court-circuitant les évidences hasardeuses des grands médias.

Fences and Windows: Dispatches from the Front Lines of the Globalization Debate brings together two years of Naomi Klein’s writings and tracks the globalization conflict from Seattle to September 11th and beyond. Since the publication of No Logo, Naomi Klein has continued tirelessly as a brilliant and informed contributor to contemporary debate. Fences and Windows: Dispatches from the Front Lines of the Globalization Debate, intended as a companion to No Logo, includes her most notable essays, speeches and articles on issues from NAFTA to Genetically Modified Organisms to the violence in Genoa. It offers introduction and explanation, looking at where the movement has come from and where it is going. More than any other single voice, Naomi Klein articulates the concerns and complaints of a generation: about economic fundamentalism, the criminalization of dissent and the effects of Free Trade. But this book also reflects on the nature of resistance: the street protests that shocked and energized millions, carnival-style subversion and the apparent disorganization that is anti-globalization’s great strength. Fences and Windows: Dispatches from the Front Lines of the Globalization Debate is provocative, intelligent and passionate, a document, in its own right, of a unique time in our history.
