Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Paperback. First there was the Arab Spring, then the Indignados, then Occupy Wall Street. And then there was the Printemps erable - the Maple Spring. In 2011, proclaiming the need for austerity, Quebec's governing Liberal Party announced a draconian increase in tuition fees. Enraged that the government would destroy a legacy of public education, so hard won during the 1960s Quiet Revolution - a legacy from which they themselves had reaped benefits - the youth of Quebec took to the streets in a student strike under the banner of the carres rouges. They fought not merely for education, but for the future: a future they watch being destroyed by the unrelenting march of capitalism, intent on the merciless exploitation of citizens and natural resources.Generation Rising is the story of the most important mass mobilization in Quebec's (and Canada's) history. It is the story of six months of brutalization of youth by the police forces of the capitalist class, as the students went toe-to-toe against the corrupt and autocratic elite in an effort to construct a horizontal, participative and grassroots democracy. It is the story of the Internet generation deploying its mastery of social media to harness the forces of hundreds of thousands, and ultimately defeat a battle-hardened premier.At the end of it all, Quebec's first social media mobilization had laid the foundations for a brave new future, where the old world of order and authority might finally be swept aside to make way for a new, twenty-first-century democracy.Le combat est avenir - the fight is the future, and the battle has just begun. The Quebec student strike in the spring of 2012 has been linked with the Arab Spring, and The Idle No More movements as one of the most important and significant social protests of modern times.
