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

This was not that interesting.

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.

Very good counter argument to globalisation, but don't use this book alone to found your opinion on the debate. The short storied are easy to read, and if one bores you (unlikely as that may seem), it is possible to skip the vignette and move onto the next without a loss of understanding.

Interesting and good book!

This was put together after No Logo but chronicles events over a wide period of time, such as the nascent WTO protests in 1999 Seattle. There is so much subject matter in this book from Zapatistas, Commons, IMF and The World Social Forum. Looking back it would read a book of its time but well worth a read if interested in the anti capitalist movement of the 90s and early 00s. Comparable with Arundhati Roy and Noam Chomsky.

She is wonderful! and so dead-on!
