Originally published in 2012 to wide acclaim, this updated edition, Why It's Still Kicking Off Everywhere, includes coverage of the most recent events in the wave of revolt and revolution sweeping the planet--riots in Athens, student occupations in the UK, Quebec and Moscow, the emergence of the Occupy Movement and the tumult of the Arab Spring. Economic crisis, social networking and a new political consciousness have come together to ignite a new generation of radicals. BBC journalist and author Paul Mason combines the anecdotes gleaned through first-hand reportage with political, economic and historical analysis to tell the story of today's networked revolution. Why It's Still Kicking Off Everywhere not only addresses contemporary struggles, it provides insights into the future of global revolt. No library descriptions found. |

Where Mason shines the most, however, is when he tells the stories of people affected by gross inequalities. Whether it's the protesters in Greece, Tahrir Square or Spain or the poor of the Southwest United States or the Philippines, Mason manages to covey their stories in such a way that it hard not to empathize and sympathize with their plights. He makes their stories seem intimate in way that other journalists would have surely failed. This book is what journalism should be. ( )
