Howard Zinn
Environmental Racism
Robert Bullard
The concept of environmental racism is a relatively new one. But that it exists is as certain as other forms of what might be called traditional racism. There is an increasing pattern of placing toxic waste dumps, hazardous materials and landfills in African American, Latino and Native American communities. If convenient sites can’t be found […]
Fortress America: The Military Industrial Complex
William Greider
The end of Cold War was supposed to usher in a peace dividend, a redirection in budget priorities from defense to the civilian sector. It hasn’t happened. The military busies itself with ever new missions from humanitarian intervention in Haiti to bombing Iraq to leading the attack on Yugoslavia. When it comes to military spending […]
Livable Cities: Creating a Sustainable Urban Environment
Bill McKibben
Few cities in the U.S. are immune from the impact of urban sprawl.

Jim Crow & Jezebel Go To Hollywood
Cedric Robinson
The power of cinema to shape public perception is as old motion pictures themselves. In the late 19th century, Jim Crow was the term for a system of laws and policies designed to maintain racial segregation. Jezebel was a featured character in Southern literature at that time, an irresistible black woman seducing white men. The […]
Movements & Machiavellians
Tom Hayden
Machiavelli wrote his classic work, The Prince in 1513. The book was intended to win favor with the ruling Medici family in Florence. That is to say, he was looking for a job. The Prince has subsequently become the guide to the exercise of raw political power. Machiavelli extolled ends over means. The capturing and […]
