Depuis la publication de No Logo, best-seller traduit en une vingtaine de langues, Naomi Klein contribue sans relâche au débat contemporain sur la mondialisation, son impact, son avenir. Le Journal d'une combattante, réunit pour la première fois en français, deux années de chroniques écrites à l'occasion de manifestations ou de sommets tenus aux quatre coins du monde et parues dans de nombreuses publications, dont principalement le Globe and Mail ainsi que The Nation, The Gardian et le New-york Times. A travers ce témoignage de première main en provenance des lignes de front de la mondialisation, Naomi Klein poursuit, en l'élargissant, sa radioscopie de la société actuelle, son entreprise de dénonciation des grandes sociétés et des institutions internationales. Mais surtout, ce "journal" rend compte de la nature même de la résistance avec ses manifestations populaires qui ont secoué et aiguillonné des millions de nos contemporains, les allures de carnaval qui ont marqué cette nouvelle forme de subversion jusqu'à l'apparente désorganisation du mouvement-en réalité sa plus grande force. Provocant, intelligent et passionné, ce journal de bord constitue tout à la fois un manuel de survie face à la prédation de l'économie mondiale, un bilan de la mondialisation et de ses conséquences et un témoignage unique sur un moment marquant de notre histoire.

Naomi Klein is a Canadian author, social activist, and filmmaker known for her political analyses; support of ecofeminism, organized labour, and leftism; and criticism of corporate globalization, fascism, ecofascism and capitalism. As of 2021, she is an associate professor, and professor of climate justice at the University of British Columbia, co-directing a Centre for Climate Justice.
Klein first became known internationally for her alter-globalization book No Logo (1999). The Take (2004), a documentary film about Argentine workers' self-managed factories, written by her and directed by her husband Avi Lewis, further increased her profile. The Shock Doctrine (2007), a critical analysis of the history of neoliberal economics, solidified her standing as a prominent activist on the international stage and was adapted into a six-minute companion film by Alfonso Cuaron and Jonás Cuarón, as well as a feature-length documentary by Michael Winterbottom. Klein's This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. the Climate (2014) was a New York Times nonfiction bestseller and the winner of the Hilary Weston Writers' Trust Prize for Nonfiction.
In 2016, Klein was awarded the Sydney Peace Prize for her activism on climate justice. Klein frequently appears on global and national lists of top influential thinkers, including the 2014 Thought Leaders ranking compiled by the Gottlieb Duttweiler Institute, Prospect magazine's world thinkers 2014 poll, and Maclean's 2014 Power List. She was formerly a member of the board of directors of the climate activist group 350.org.

While I largely share Klein's worldview (and have in fact taught her), she is never one to let things like strict factual accuracy get in the way of points made. This is not to say that Klein is not an intelligent or engaging writer, it is more that one needs to take much of what she needs to say with a grain of salt.

I first read this book when I was about 14, living in the middle of nowhere with no other political "influence" except what was shown on tv and our local library, to be specific, the shelves dealing with society, political systems, human rights and other such topics. I can't remember how this ended into my 14-year-old hands, but it changed my life and I'm happy it did. My mom was a bit worried at first 'cause she clearly saw that it was "an adult book" compared to the Star Wars extended universe I had read before it, but she never questioned my reading choices.

I guess now in Anno Domini 2018 some of its content is not as up to date as it was when it first came out, but I'd still recommend it. Fences and Windows is overshadowed by No Logo and because of the format it doesn't go as deep into individual subjects as No Logo did, but it's still worth the read. Unfortunately the world hasn't also gotten significantly better after all this time, so I'd also recommend it to the coming generations of lonely angst ridden 14-year-olds, as a description of the struggles past and to encourage, englighten and better prepare them for the struggles of the future.

I found this book in a public bookshelf, I looked into it, I thought it might be interesting, so I took it home. Naomi Klein explains in this book what the so called anti-globalists want, that they are not really anti-globalists, as many would say, because they are not against globalization itself, they just don't like how globalization happens, what WTO does etc., how the poor get poorer and the rich get richer, how the inequality grows etc. The book is from the early 2000's, and I read it in 2020, almost 20 years after the protests which were described in the book, but I wouldn't say it's not actual anymore. When I was reading it I thought "shit, why didn't I find this book while I was still at the university, learning about WTO rounds, disputes etc." It was interesting to read it anyways. I think I will read more books from this author.

Читается пободрее, чем No Logo. Эта книга - сборник статей-хроник, лог событий, а не теоретические основы антиглобализации.

This collection of short articles and speeches served mostly to chronicle the explosion of anti-globalism protests that dominated world news up until the eve of September 11, 2001 and its quick demise. This was clearly not the intent of the author who, writing in 2002, seemed to imply the beginning of an international movement to end the uncontested hegemony of the neo-liberal economic policy. While I applauded Klein for trying to justify the amorphous nature of these protest and the attention she gives to signs that it was developing into something more tangible, the two decades passed since the movement and the almost identical arch of the “Occupy” movement of the early 2010s gives me little hope that this style of protest would ever amount to much.

Good collection, but scattered and inconsistent (as expected from a collection of articles) - some incredible foresight, but the occasional miss too

An extremely provocative and insightful view of the hidden world politics and policies that secretly ravage the well-being of the world's poorest of the poor nations, and how the wealthy nations thrive off of this imbalance.
