Peace, Love & Petrol Bombs

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

- Peace, Love, and Petrol Bombs is largely aimed at disaffected teens seeking alternative role models. While not a specifically "young adult" novel, the book is appropriate for a wide age range of readers.- The story is set in the context of the anti-globalization protests at the end of the twentieth century, so it should be of interest to thirty-something activists who were involved in the anti-globalization movement, as well as to younger readers.- Most novels that treat anarchism in any significant way focus on the image of the "bomb-throwing terrorist" angle. PLPB treats its young anarchist protagonists as real people, and follows them as they come of age politically and socially.- Written with loads of dry British humor and wit, PLPB is a great read ... and an antidote to "serious" political fiction. This book has a political message, but it's ultimately a good story, first and foremost.
