revTALKS: Ezequiel Adamovsky - (SO@H), MAR8 7-8pm

Ezequiel Adamovsky (from Argentina): experience comes from the extraordinarily radical process that the Argentinians went through during their crisis. Their political system was more or less paralyzed and was seen as irrelevant, and people's GAs sprang up all over the country. He was heavily involved in the “Asambleas” movement (a grassroots phenomenon emerging in Argentina after the Rebellion of 2001), and he is involved in a number of collectives of global resistance and the World Social Forum.
His recent book (May 2011) entitled Anti-Capitalism Adamovsky tells the story of the long-standing effort to build a better world, one without an abusive system at its heart. Backed up by arresting, lucid images from the radical artist group United Illustrators, Adamovsky details the struggle against rising corporate power, as that struggle unfolds in the halls of academia, in the pages of radical newspapers, and in the jungles and the streets. From Marx through the Battle of Seattle and beyond, Adamovsky traces the beliefs and politics of the major figures in the anticapitalist tradition and explores modern experiments in building different ways of living, in the process providing an indispensible primer for anyone interested in finding alternatives to the so-called "best system we have"—and anyone interested in joining the fight.
