THE SHOCK DOCTRINE

Provocative essays from the influential activist and bestselling author of No Logo, exploring the rise of the anti-globalization movement. Naomi Klein's No Logo is an international bestselling phenomenon. Winner of Le Prix Mediations (France) and the National Business Book Award (Canada), it has been translated into 21 languages and published in 25 countries. In Fences and Windows, Klein, named one of Ms Magazine's Women of the Year in 2001 and declared by the Times (London) to be "probably the most influential person under the age of 35 in the world," offers a bird's-eye view of the life of an activist and the development of the "anti-globalization" movement from the 1999 Seattle World Trade Organization protests through September 11, 2001. Bringing together columns, speeches, essays, and reportage, Klein provides thought-provoking arguments on a broad range of issues, from the privatization of water and genetically modified food to "free trade" and the movement's future post-9/11. As one of the most brilliant activists and thinkers of her generation, Naomi Klein's insightful commentary in Fences and Windows is essential reading for anyone interested in globalization, activism, and the political and economic forces shaping our world.
