Sommario/riassunto

Through an anthropological study of a highly influential movement of French 'alterglobalization' activists, this book offers an ethnographic window onto the global movement against corporate capitalism and the neoliberal policies of the WTO. The volume makes an important contribution to theoretical debates on globalization, domination and resistance.
