A primer on the the WORLD WIDE anti-corporate movement
Amory Starr's highly readable "Naming the Enemy" explains the global movement against corporations. Using impeccably researched case studies, she shows how local movements against local problems turned into a global movement for social justice. However, this is no hagiography: Starr gives the movement an analysis every bit as critical as that of the system it struggles against. A well balanced, crucial book.

Global perspective, global understanding
If you read Amory Starr's book, you know that the protests in Seattle weren't the first against corporate globalization. "Naming the Enemy" explains how this movement has grown from local campaigns against local problems to a planet-wide movement against a companies that turn people and the environment into commodities. Impeccably researched but written without using academic jargon, readable without being condescending, "Naming the Enemy" is one of the most important political science books in recent memory.
