Perfect for courses on social movements since the sixties, on DIY culture, queer theory, or on anti-globalization, ‘From ACT UP to the WTO’ is a unique collection of essays from activists in a wide range of organizations that charts the profound influence of ACT UP on the style and substance of activism in the eighties and nineties and beyond. It places such events as ‘the battle for Seattle’ in important historical context – it didn’t start there! – and reveals numerous and creative forms of resistance forging ahead in many communities despite the backlash following September 11.
