Overview
From the food we eat, to the clothes we wear, to the values that shape our realities, Globalization has affected nearly every aspect of modern life on this planet. Contributors to this book suggest that globalization is supplanting Cold War ideology and they critique mainstream news media coverage of civil disobedience. They further explore the new activism of social movement groups who use performance and media to appeal directly to the people in promoting their causes, fundraising, and recruitment.

Reviews
There is a great need for scholarly accounts of the global justice movement, as it develops into a long-term challenge to mainstream policy agendas. Representing Resistence, Opel and Pompper's important and timely new collection, certainly fits that bill, offering an insightful and thorough account of the movement's history and prehistory, its (mis) representation by mainstream media, as well as its own highly original use of media, particularly the Internet. This book is greatly to be welcomed and will be essential reading for those interested whether in social movements or in media's contribution to global (dis) order. -Nick Couldry, Senior Lecturer London School of Economics and Political Science
