It went a bit over my head in the beginning so I had to reread the first 20 pages to really appreciate how good it was. There was some really great stuff in there, very thoughtprovoking for me. Some of my half formed thoughts evolved into more fully formed thoughts...
The G8 meeting in Germany was going on at the same time as I read this, I was watching the protesters on the news and felt I understood more of what was happening there. ( )

Includes some interesting bits on the relationship between the internet and the form of the anti-globalisation movement.

A huge amount of good information, pointers and advice on how to fight the big guys :-) ( )

A bit more pedestrian and predictable than No Logo, but still moves with the times and is a great expose of a lot of what is wrong with our trade culture. Still a must read! ( )

Not as good as "No Logo" but interesting and informative. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0312307993, Paperback)

Naomi Klein’s No Logo is an international bestselling phenomenon. Winner of Le Prix Mediations (France), and of the National Business Book Award (Canada) it has been translated into 21 languages and published in 25 countries.

Named one of Ms Magazine’s Women of Year in 2001, and declared by the Times (London) to be “probably the most influential person under the age of 35 in the world,” in Fences and Windows, Naomi Klein offers a bird’s-eye view of the life of an activist and the development of the “anti-globalization” movement from the Seattle World Trade Organization protests in 1999 through September 11, 2001. Bringing together columns, speeches, essays, and reportage, Klein once again provides provocative arguments on a broad range of issues. Whether she is discussing the privatization of water; genetically modified food; “free trade;” or the development of the movement itself and its future post 9/11, Naomi Klein is one of the most thoughtful and brilliant activists and thinkers for a new generation.
