An in-depth look at the Genoa G8 summit and the European Social
Forum, from the protesters’ point of view.
When violence broke out at the demonstrations surrounding the 2001 G8
summit in Genoa, Italy, the authors of this book were there. The
protests proved to be a critical moment in the global justice movement.
Presenting the first systematic empirical research on the global
justice movement, Globalization from Below analyzes a movement from
the viewpoints of the activists, organizers, and demonstrators
themselves. The authors traveled to Genoa with anti-G8 protesters and
collected data from more than 800 participants. A year later, they
surveyed 2,400 activists at the European Social Forum in Florence. To
understand how this cycle of global protest emerged, they examine the
interactions between challengers and elites, and discuss how these
new models of activism fit into current social movement work.
Globalization from Below places the protests within larger debates,
revealing and investigating the forces that led to a clash between
demonstrators and the Italian government, which responded with violence.
