Synopsis

For the first time since the events took place, THE BATTLE OF SEATTLE collects a diverse range of radical left wing opinions on the questions of violence, race, and the future. Compelling interviews and essays from activists and historians such as Stanly Aronowitz, Alexander Cockburn, Peter Lanborn Wilson, Doug Henwood and Medea Benjamin shatter the unconscious prejudices of the average reader, getting them involved in the crucial questions of the day. The book includes an extensive bibliography, an introductory essay by Eddy Yung, and an original and controversial interview with Noam Chomsky that questions Chomsky's understanding of social movements.
