Schnews at Ten

A decade of party and protest. Ten years of direct action. “It all started in a squatted courthouse in Brighton back in 1994 with people wearing silly wigs reading out the alternative news. Ever since then SchNEWS has been publishing continuous weekly newsheets full of radical get-off-your-arse direct action politics from Britain and across the world. This book brings together some of the key stories of the decade from the big roads protest and anti-Criminal Justice Act movement in the nineties through to the global anti-capitalist movement and opposition to the war in Iraq. From Newbury to Seattle, Liverpool Dockers to the Zapatistas - with a lot of the less well known, but equally important moments in between. And not forgetting our crap arrests of the week.”
