Abstract: Combining personal memoir and political reportage, Marisa Handler offers an inside look at the burgeoning global justice movement through her own coming of age story. Handler shares intimate details of her life as a global justice activist to offer a revealing perspective on what drives the movement. Tracing her own evolution as an activist, her story crisscrosses the globe, examining current sociopolitical issues from apartheid and racism to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, corporate globalization, and the wars of the Bush administration. Along the way, Handler paints portraits of the people she's encountered, shares details of the sometimes-harrowing events that have changed and shaped her, and describes how she came to advocate a spiritually based, nonviolent activism as the best means to build the kind of world we wish to see.
