We are pleased to announce the release of a new book edited by Andy Opel
(OURMedia member) and Donnalyn Pompper.

"REPRESENTING RESISTANCE:  Media, Civil Disobedience, and the Global
Justice Movement"

Edited by Andy Opel and Donnalyn Pompper

Published by Greenwood Press

Description:
From the food we eat, to the clothes we wear, to the values that shape
our realities, Globalization has affected nearly every aspect of modern
life on this planet. Contributors to this book suggest that
globalization is supplanting Cold War ideology and they critique
mainstream news media coverage of civil disobedience. They further
explore the "new activism" of social movement groups who use performance
and media to appeal directly to the people in promoting their causes,
fundraising, and recruitment.

Reviewers Comments:

From Bob McChesney:

"Andy Opel's and Donnalyn Pomper's Representing Resistance is one of the
most 
important collections on globalization, culture and politics that has
ever 
been published. It provides cutting edge analysis of the main trends by
the 
leading scholars and activists in the field. I strongly recommended that
all 
concerned with globalization and social justice read this book."

From Andrew Ross:

This is a very useful book. It collects masses of far-flung information
and conjecture about the global justice movement, and submits it all to
careful, incisive analysis.

From Vandana Shiva:

"Read this book if you want to know about the cutting edge of democracy
in this brutal period of globalisation and about why powerful vested
interests are trying to demonise and criminalise the best expressions of
our common humanity and diverse freedoms."


In Solidarity,

Andy and Donnalyn
