Cultural Writing. The attacks of 9/11 have renewed a hunger for ideas about how to effect change. The strategies and hard-won victories of dedicated activists from global justice and community struggles can provide vision and hope, and in this collection of 33 articles and essays we hear first hand accounts from North America, Europe and Latin America. GLOBALIZE LIBERATION aims to deepen, popularize, update and provide concrete practical ideas for this spirit of resistance and innovation. Contributors include: Betita Martínez, Starhawk, Walden Bello, Naomi Klein, Guillermo Gómez-Peña, Midnight Notes Collective, Rage Against the Machine and more.
