Earth First!, 1990 - 1991

 File — Box: 4

Comment from Mary Dery

Articles about the radical environmentalists Earth First!, who often used culture jamming techniques (“media monkeywrenching,” etc.) in their eco-guerrilla campaign against the logging industry, corporate polluters, and the establishment media (which, in their eyes, often engaged in both-sides-ism in its narrative framing of environmentalist critiques of the corporatism and capitalism). Also includes material related to Dave Foreman, the group’s founder and an uncompromising advocate of what ‘60s radicals called “direct action.”
