Le Service Historique De L'Armee De L'air Book

No longer using this website, but I'm leaving up old reviews. Fuck Jeff Bezos. Find me on LibraryThing:

A great and surprisingly radical analysis of world trade and the politics of neoliberalism and the movements that are countering this death machine. A potentially radicalizing primer for the budding anti-globalization activist.

The book looks gorgeous: a couple hundred or so pages of full color, glossy, image laden essays from heavy hitters in the anti-globalization movement of the latter half of the nineties/early oh-ohs.

This book is just a first step, as the "what you can do" portion of the book is rooted in a liberal lifestylist mindset, and is pretty weak, in comparison to its strength of debunking the (now nearly defunct) assumptions of neoliberal globalization.

Anita Roddick, the author, was the founder and CEO of The Body Shop, a store with surprisingly good politics for what a yuppie hole it is. She participated in the anti-globalization movement, putting her body on the gears at Seattle and other movement milestones.
