Desire for Change: women on the frontline of global resistance. This collection
of interviews with women was recorded in Cochabamba, Bolivia at the 3rd
conference of Peoples' Global Action. It covers women's involvement in a broad
range of struggles: from culture-jaming in Australia, to coca-growing trade
unions in Bolivia, autonomous land settlers in Brazil to radical
environmentalists from the Ukraine. The main themes include leadership versus
horizontal organising, the role of woman in revolutionary struggle; the
personal road to radicalisation; the potentials and pitfalls of the PGA
network; resistance to 'savage capitalism'; and visions of a better world.

£3.50 (or thereabouts). To order a copy e-mail pgabolivia @ yahoo.co.uk or
write to LARC.
