From ACT UP to the WTO: Urban Protest and Community Building in the Era of Globalization - Hardcover

"A course for activists of the twenty-first century requires a new literature capturing narratives of a new activism currently igniting our nation. This is the text for that course."--Eric Rofes

"Shepard and Hayduk's book shows where the first 'movement' of the twenty-first century is coming from."--Marshall Berman

"How often do progressives get such a powerful snapshot of history in the making, told from our point of view? Benjamin Shepard and Ronald Hayduk have done a masterful job of compiling essays that paint a comprehensive and diverse picture of modern activism. A wide range of issues and the people who confront them, their agendas and strategies, are included here, and make a compelling read. This is a brave and important book that is sure to raise consciousness, cement coalitions, and incite righteous anger. It also gave me some hope that change is possible, if only enough of us will insist on equality, peace, and justice."--Patrick Califia
