Well this is a good idea -- beats the hell out of finding another Demoncratic party whore like Alterboy, or a mumbling twit like the Mad Law Perfessor.

Dear EmailNation Subscriber,

We're pleased to announce the debut of a new monthly Nation column by Naomi Klein. An award-winning journalist and author of the international best-seller, No Logo: Taking Aim at the Brand Bullies, Klein is a prominent and a popular figure at colleges and universities around the world.

Her monthly Nation column, Lookout, will focus on globalization, branding, anti-corporate activism and new leaders and movements emerging around the world, whether in Argentina, South Africa, Western Europe or the United States.

Klein's first Nation column, from the February 3, 2003 issue, offers a fundamental new framework for understanding the current North American political and economic order, as she outlines the emergence of a “Fortress Continent” stretching from Guatemala to the Arctic Circle.

Translated into 25 languages, No Logo has come to be considered a “bible” of the global justice movement, and was one of the first books to chronicle the backlash against corporate globalization.

For the past six years, Klein has traveled throughout North America, Asia, Latin America and Europe, tracking the rise of anti-corporate activism. A frequent media commentator, freelance writer, debater and university guest lecturer, she recently published a collection of her work, Fences and Windows: Dispatches from the Front Lines of the Globalization Debate.

Fences and Windows brings together two years of eyewitness commentary written at globalization demonstrations and economic summits around the world. Royalties are also being donated to The Fences Fund, an organization that provides financial support to grassroots activists resisting corporate hegemony.
