Earth First! Fist, Volume 17

Worsham, Lyndy, et al., eds., Earth First! Journal 17, no. 6 (21 June 1997). Republished by the Environment & Society Portal, Multimedia Library. http://www.environmentandsociety.org/node/7026.


In this issue of Earth First! Journal Lyndy Worsham vents her frustration about the new Multilateral Agreement on Investment (MAI); Derrick Jensen reflects on the Túpac Amaru Revolutionary Movement (MRTA)’s hostage-taking siege of the Japanese embassy in Lima; and direct action tunnelling is explained as a nonviolent means of action.

I have a deep interest in the relationship between pacifistic and armed resistance to that power. When does pacifistic resistance work, and when does it not? When is armed resistance acceptable, and when not?

— Derrick Jensen
