A time capsule of the Peoples' Movement.
Book title: Under the Lens of the People:
Our Account of the Peoples' Resistance to The FTAA, Québec City, April
2001.
"Under the Lens of the People" is a bilingual photobook documenting
peoples' resistance to the FTAA at the Summit of the Americas in Québec
City, April 2001.
In April 2001, all the heads of states of countries in the Americas,
except Cuba, met in Québec City to secretly negotiate the Free Trade
Area of the Americas (FTAA) treaty. People throughout the Americas
converged on this site to add their voices to the debate but were
violently excluded from these meetings.
The Peoples Lenses Collective prepares this compilation (book) of essays
and photographs documenting the issues and events seen from the Peoples'
side of the fence.
This 288 page book is 8 by 10 inches. There are over 200 pages of
powerful, lively, stunning and solemn black and white photographs of the
peoples and their resistance to the FTAA. The photos were taken by
numerous photographers of diverse background. It further includes 19
articles of various aspects of the hemisphere from writers throughout
the Americas--including
Rodney Bobiwash,
Naomi Klein,
Murphy Brown,
Pauline Hwang,
John Jordan,
Hassan Yussuf,
Hélène Vallières,
Evelyne Pedneault,
David Suzuki and Holly Dressel,
Noam Chomsky
to name a few. It is a bilingual (French and English) publication.
Permission to reprint the essays and photographs for this compilation
was generously granted without charge by the authors and photographers.
All proceeds from the book will be donated to the Quebec legal defence
fund of those arrested in Quebec City during the Summit.
This book is printed on acid-free coated paper that contains 10%
recycled material, and the paper has been processed chlorine free. Also
the book is perfect bound (paper back) and the book cover is glossy
laminated.
