The Marketing of Rebellion: Insurgents, Media, and International Activism

Bob, Clifford

Written by former SSRC/ACLS Fellow Clifford Bob, The Marketing of Rebellion rejects dominant views that needy groups readily gain help from selfless nongovernmental organizations (NGOs). Instead, they face a Darwinian struggle for scarce resources where support goes to the savviest, not the neediest. Examining Mexico’s Zapatista rebels and Nigeria’s Ogoni ethnic group, the book draws critical conclusions about social movements, NGOs, and “global civil society.” Buy from Amazon.
