Books by Andy Heintz

Links and networking between Far-Right politicians all over the world are causing widespread alarm but the Left can also pool its own experience and offer inspiration as it seeks to turn the tide back towards justice, equality and human rights.Dissidents of the International Left features interviews with progressives, leftists, liberals, leaders of social movements, dissidents, anarchists and feminists from across the globe. Their views, in their own words.Lesser-known thinkers and activists have the same platform as the pre-eminent figures on the Left, giving a nuanced insight into the different strands of the international and domestic leftist currents pulsing throughout the world.How have the Kurdish revolutionaries in Rojava ended up putting into practice US thinker Murray Bookchin's idea of libertarian municipalism? Why have the policies of Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch offended activists in North Africa? Are US military interventions ever justifiable from a leftist viewpoint? 'The discussions in this book can be a model for our future course. They provide an example of the best kind of globalization - globalization from below.' - John Feffer, Institute of Policy Studies
