Direct Action: Reflections On Armed Resistance And The Squamish Five

Ann Hansen
Edition: CD
ISBN:
Publisher: G-7 Welcoming Committee
Release Date: 2003-11-07
ITEM OVERVIEW
Recorded in October 2002, an unrepentant and eminently articulate Ann Hansen reflects on the successes and failures of the bombings she was convicted for as part of the anarchist armed struggle groups Direct Action and the Wimmin's Fire Brigade; and dispels some of the common myths surrounding not only her actions, but armed struggle in general. She explores the differences between direct action and terrorism as means of affecting social change, laying the groundwork for defining what direct action means, what its guiding principles are, and how it can be applied successfully and meaningfully in today's political climate.
