Review in M/C (Media/Culture) Journal

Thursday, October 16th, 2008

Excerpt:

“As well as incorporating detailed descriptions of the passionate network politics and continually shifting alliances between and within various protest groups around the world, Networking Futures has captured the vibrancy, energetic strategising and intense emotions experienced by activists… By recounting his own personal experiences and the dialogue exchanged with friends, Juris offers an important counterpoint to the detached and stereotypical manner in which mainstream media frames protest actions for consumption as propaganda.”

Interview with Jeffrey Juris by Geert Lovink on Nettime Mailing List

Friday, October 10th, 2008

Excerpt:

“Jeffrey Juris wrote an excellent insiders’ story about the “other globalization” movement… The main thesis of Juris is the shift of radical movements towards the network method as their main form of organization… Besides precise descriptions of Barcelona groups… the World Social Forum and Indymedia, Networking Futures particularly looks into a relatively unknown anti-capitalist network, the People’s Global Action. The outcome is a very readable book, filled with group observations and event descriptions, not heavy on theory or strategic discussions or disputes.”
