Who's Afraid of the Black Blocs?: Anarchy in Action Around the World
Author(s): DUPUIS - DERI FRANCIS
Faces masked, dressed in black and attacking the symbols of capitalism, Black Blocs have been transformed into an anti-globalisation media spectacle. But the popular image of the window-smashing thug hides a complex reality. Francis Dupuis-Dri outlines the origin of this international phenomenon, its dynamics and its goals, arguing that the use of violence always takes place in an ethical and strategic context. Who's Afraid Of The Black Blocs? lays out a comprehensive view of the Black Bloc tactic and locates it within the anarchist tradition.
