QUOTES ABOUT THE BOOK

“Neophyte or social movement veteran, you need this succinct guide to avoid the pitfalls, ambushes, and ordinary stupidity ready to waylay the well-meaning activitst. Thanks to Brecher, Costello, and Smith, we can put winning strategies in their place. We may even get it right this time-and, believe me, this time, it’s urgent. Bravo.”
—Susan George 

Globalization from Below is a concise and very readable book that assists the reader in understanding the ‘new world order’ and its impact on society.”
—Edward Asner

This lean, thoughtful, and incisive book examines the most important political question raised by the advent of globalization: will the growth of a broad grassroots protest movement grow, succeed in entering the political lists, and transform the corporate-led global agenda. A must read for political activists.”
—Professor Frances Fox Piven, City University of New York 

While the media portrays anti-corporate protesters as everything from protectionists to wacko Luddites, the authors of Globalization from Below clearly show that our movement is a profoundly humane response to a global economic system gone awry. Their Global Program articulates what we are for—democratic decision-making, fair distribution of wealth, environmental sustainability—and how we can continue to weld and strengthen the disparate pieces of this emerging international grassroots movement. Globalization from Below gives us direction for turning the tide of the global economy from one that lifts all yachts to one that truly lifts all boats.”
—Medea Benjamin, Co-Founder of Global Exchange

Since the 1980s, Brecher, Costello, and Smith have been cutting through the global babble to show us, concretely, how the world economy was being reorganized. A lot of us didn't like what we saw. Now these prescient author/organizers are helping us think clearly, and again concretely, about how we can stick together (not just huddle together) to create a more humane globalization from below.”
—Barbara Garson, author of Money Makes the World Go Around

“This is cutting edge stuff. Essential reading for all who want to know how the world is changing in our time and how to be involved in shaping that change. A worldwide social movement has emerged. It is important to know how it came about and what it seeks to do. Globalization from Below, like Jeremy Brecher and Tim Costello's Global Village of Global Pillage, does an excellent and precise job. Exhilarating reading! Get involved in creating a new just world.”
—Denis Brutus, Professor Emeritus, Africana Studies Department, University of Pittsburgh
