When I first heard Jerry Mander's name, I thought maybe it was a joke. A progressive activist named Jerry Mander? Gerrymander? Sounds like a joke. However, according to Wikipedia (despite the jokes, a pretty accurate source of information about many things), it's not a pseudonym but his real name.
At any rate, I stumbled across this transcript of a speech by Jerry Mander the other day in a publication I'd never heard of called Lapis Magazine. It's about how indigenous people are threatened by our manic corporate system, and how they are fighting back. The article also includes links to the International Forum on Globalization website which looks like it's chock full of interesting stuff. Annie Leonard, who created The Story of Stuff, is apparently a board member.
