About the Book

In June 2010 activists opposing the G20 meeting held in Toronto were greeted with arbitrary state violence on a scale never before seen in Canada. Whose Streets? is a combination of testimonials from the front lines and analyses of the broader context, an account that both reflects critically on what occurred in Toronto and looks ahead to further building our capacityfor resistance. Featuring reflections from activists who helped organize the mobilizations, demonstrators andpassersby who were arbitrarily arrested and detained, and scholars committed to the theory and practice of confronting neoliberal capitalism, the collection balances critical perspective with on-the-street intensity. It offers vital insight for activists on how local organizing and global activism can come together.

Review :
"?Focusing on eyewitness accounts and reportage, ...[the book?'s second and third parts] provide powerful illustrations of the clashes between security forces and protestors." - Quill & Quire "An invaluable resource for anyone interested in protest in the age of corporate globalization." - Judy Rebick, activist and author of Transforming Power: From the Personal to the Political "By telling the stories of the dedicated activists who took our demands for local and global justice and democracy to the streets of Toronto, Whose Streets? offers proof that, in the face of state repression and police violence, our collective resistance to neo-liberal capitalism only grows stronger." - Maude Barlow, national chairperson of the Council of Canadians "I love that editors Tom Malleson and David Wachsmuth made the democratic and risky decision to include a broad spectrum of opinions in their book...This sober retelling of events replaces knee-jerk emotions with necessary facts for anyone still trying to figure out what the hell happened...The spark lies in the storytelling." - rabble.ca "We cannot build a mass movement that is up to the internal as well as external challenges we face unless we collectively and comradely dissect and learn from our struggles. This book is an indispensable resource in applying that basic principle." - Sam Gindin, Visiting Packer Chair in Social Justice, York University "Whose Streets? celebrates the power of speaking out?let it be widely read and let that power be widely heard." - Nathalie Des Rosiers, General Counsel, Canadian Civil Liberties Association "Whose Streets? warrants a broad and diverse readership, within and beyond the academy." - Labour/Le Travail PRAISE FOR "Whose Streets?" "I love that editors Tom Malleson and David Wachsmuth made the democratic and risky decision to include a broad spectrum of opinions in their book. . . . This sober retelling of events replaces knee-jerk emotions with necessary facts for anyone still trying to figure out what the hell happened. . . . The spark lies in the storytelling." --rabble.ca ?Focusing on eyewitness accounts and reportage, . . .
