Activism! by Tim Jordan
From Europe to the USA, from Australia to South America, from the Left to the Right, Jordan introduces us to DIY activism: eco-activists, animal liberators, neo-fascists, ravers, anti-abortionists, squatters, hunt saboteurs and hacktivists.

The Independent on Sunday Open University social scientist Tim Jordan's exploration of alternative ways of being, interacting, protesting, and resisting is heartfelt and wide-ranging. [...] Jordan provides a lucid and useful route map through the numerous byways of a far from homogenous global phenomenon Peace News
