About the book :

As much an adventure story as an unofficial chronicle of modern global resistance movements, Clandestines spirits the reader into subterranean locales, carefully weaving the narrative through illicit encounters and public bacchanals. From the teeming squats of Berlin, to intrigue in the Zapatista Autonomous Zone, a Croatian Rainbow Gathering on the heels of the G8 protests in Genoa, mutiny on the high seas, the Quixotic ambitions of a Kurdish guerilla camp, the contradictions of Cuba, and the neoliberal nightmare of post-war(s) Central America we see everywhere a world in flux, struggling to be reborn.

About the author:

Ramor Ryan is a rebellious Irish rover who makes his home between New York City and Chiapas, Mexico.

Praise for Clandestines:

“A fascinating book which combines action and reflection to give a profound insight into the human condition” Michael McCaughan, Village Magazine

“A rousing, insightful, humorous tapestry of cultural resistance, Clandestines impels us to fear inaction, not failure, for mistakes are made to be learned from, and our lives are our own” San Francisco Bay Guardian

"Tired of dry political analysis that leaves you wondering what's really happening in the world? Ramor Ryan's grassroots revelations beautifully recounts his own experiences, revealing the inside story of revolutions and contemporary movement scenes. No gods, no masters? Here's a book worth enjoying."—George Katsiaficas, The Subversion of Politics
