We Are Everywhere: the irresistible rise of global anticapitalism was 
described by Canadian writer Naomi Klein as "...the first book to 
truly capture and embody the exuberant creativity and radical intellect of 
the protest movements."

Stern, Martinez and Wildings are just back from Iraq, and will present 
hard-hitting images, stories and video from the streets of Baghdad and 
Fallujah to accompany Whitney's analysis. The presentation is a 
multimedia performance comprised of several elements: a slideshow and 
video from the current uprising in Iraq, a video highlighting the diversity 
of various
threads of resistance around the world, an exhibition of beautiful photos and 
illustrative quotations from their book, a brief talk on the current 
situation in Iraq and the connections between the anti-war movements and 
the global anticapitalist movements covered in We Are Everywhere, and an 
open discussion with the audience.
