No Logo
Naomi Klein
"Equal parts cultural analysis, journalistic exposé and mall-rat memoir,
from one of the most insightful and respected young commentators in North America
today, No Logo explains the bad mood rising against the brands. Without realizing
it, multinationals have militarized their opposition. The corporate hunger to homogenize
our communities and monopolize public expression is creating a wave of public resistance,
highlighted by the guerilla tactics of the angry young. No Logo plots the
story of rebellion in the face of our branded world, placing it in clear economic
and pop-historical perspective." $35.95.
