Amory Starr is author of Naming the Enemy, a book that foresaw the emergent anti-globalization network nearly a decade ago. Here she provides, in concise and engaging style and with activist insight: A history of the movements' emergence. A guide to the movements against globalization.

A new movement of 'anti-globalists', in Time Magazine's words (24 April 2000), now 'oppose corporate dominion over the planet's poor and disfranchised'. Naming the Enemy is the first systematic documentation of this international resistance to transnational corporations and globalization which has so recently burst into the public gaze with the street protests in Seattle, Washington, London and Prague.A wide and heterogeneous range of social movements now oppose the very fundamentals of market capitalism. Their challenge is beginning, Amory Starr shows, to amount to a sweeping critique of its purposes and practice. She explains how these movements understand their enemies and what sort of future they envision. There are, she suggests, three basic types:· Movements trying to constrain corporate power through democratic institutions and direct action;· Movements attempting a completely different kind of 'globalization from below' in which corporations will be reshaped in the service of new international democratic structures that will be populist, participatory and just;· Movements seeking to delink their localities and communities from the global economy and rebuild instead small-scale socieites in which large corporations have no role at all.This new phenomenon has received scant media or scholarly attention. But it is likely to become much more important politically as the globalized economy dominated by giant corporations and institutions like the World Bank and IMF fails to deliver on jobs, social justice, Third World development and the environment. The course of this new kind of political struggle will have huge implications for human welfare and civil liberties.This unique and important book is relevant to activists as well as students and scholars of globalization, new social movements and political economy.
  • Amory Starr has a way with words seldom matched by academic writers. She is able to take complicated issues and with her skillful articulation, explain them in a very user friendly manner. This book is radical in content, but it is extremely well written. Her prose rolls off the tongue like poetry, and the concepts make complete sense.

  • If you read Amory Starr's book, you know that the protests in Seattle weren't the first against corporate globalization. "Naming the Enemy" explains how this movement has grown from local campaigns against local problems to a planet-wide movement against a companies that turn people and the environment into commodities. Impeccably researched but written without using academic jargon, readable without being condescending, "Naming the Enemy" is one of the most important political science books in recent memory.

  • Amory Starr's highly readable "Naming the Enemy" explains the global movement against corporations. Using impeccably researched case studies, she shows how local movements against local problems turned into a global movement for social justice. However, this is no hagiography: Starr gives the movement an analysis every bit as critical as that of the system it struggles against. A well balanced, crucial book.
