By Medea Benjamin & Andrea Freedman Bridging the Global Gap is the first major work on the growing internationalist movement that is focusing national attention on the interdependence of nations and on the connections between local and international struggles. This politcal movement is unlike any in United States history. The diversity of supporters alone make this movement unique. Representatives of unions - schools - churches - community groups - and local government have joined to search for non-violent ways to wage world peace and end poverty. They are traveling across the globe to discover concrete ways of supporting their Third World counterparts and in the process they are redefining the real ''national interest'' of the United States. (337 pages - 1989) Medea Benjamin - a co-founder of Global Exchange - travels the world speaking to community groups about the effects of corporate globalization and how to get involved in the grassroots movement challenging corporate rule.
