Shut Them Down! is a
vital collection of reflections on the movement to disrupt the 2005 G8
summit
at Gleneagles, Scotland. Packed with
photos, the book includes comprehensive accounts of what happened,
ranging from personal recollections of road blockades and actions to
detailed reflection on how various aspects of the mobilisation were
organised, from convergence centres to communications. There's also
essential discussion of why the protests took place in the way they
did and reflections on the lessons to be learned: what is the future
of anti-summit mobilisations and where next for our movement of
movements?
