"This isn't
a book, it's a brick with which to shatter cynicism." -
Luther Blissett
In 1994,
indigenous Zapatista rebels emerged from the rainforest
shouting 'Ya Basta' in defiance of the birth of NAFTA.
This band of women and men rekindled a radical
resistance movement that was to inspire a whole new
generation. From urban street reclaimers in London and
land squatters in Brazil, to Indian farmers protesting
GM crops and the Italian Tute Bianchi Movement,
spontaneous uprisings found a shared enemy - global
capital. As events swept from Chiapas to Seattle, Genoa
to Bangalore, and summits have been wreathed in tear
gas, the new movement has matured into a massive
political force - flexible, strategic, and able to
resist and adapt to increasingly brutal responses by
various states. The editors of this celebratory
publishing project have been on the frontline of the
movement, working as activists and writers, story
chasers and documentarians. A mixture of critical
analysis and art book, agitprop, inspirational document,
and DIY Manual, We Are Everywhere combines innovative
graphic design and photographs with texts and interviews
with activists, creating a lively, polyphonic insight
into the ideas and activities of the movement against
capitalism.
