Antiglobalization ActivismFrench protesters carry the figure of Ronald McDonald through the streets to protest the trial of José Bové, a prominent leader in campaigns against the human and environmental costs associated with globalization. Bové was accused of demolishing a McDonald’s franchise in a small town in southern France. With its worldwide fast-food restaurants that pay little attention to local traditions, McDonald’s has often been the target of antiglobalization protests. (Witt/Haley/Sipa)
