The Struggle for Freedom
Eric Foner
Few concepts are as emotionally and politically charged as freedom. It is the guiding principle of almost all nation states. But the word is hardly dry on paper before the struggle for its application and very definition begins. Over the course of history, freedom has been a living truth for some and a cruel mockery […]
Beyond Seattle: What Is To Be Done
Robin Hahnel
The World Trade Organization meeting in Seattle not only drew trade officials from 135 countries but also tens of thousands of protesters representing non-governmental organizations, labor unions, environmental groups, farmers and citizen activists. The demonstrators shook the streets and rocked the corporate suites. The WTO ministers couldn’t decide on anything, and the talks collapsed. Was […]

U.S. Policy in Latin America
Larry Birns
Henry Stimson once referred to Latin America as “our little region over here which has never bothered anybody.” He wasn’t kidding.

The Middle East: Realities and Fantasies
Noam Chomsky
Hostages, terrorists, oil, the Gulf War, Lebanon, occupation, annexation, the intifada, Israel, the Palestinians, the peace process are the defining and emotionally charged terms and images that saturate our eyes and ears. Chomsky says,”Now, Europe is accepting that the Monroe Doctrine has been extended to the Middle East. That’s U.S. turf. We run it.” He also reviews the dismal media […]
Write What We Say, Not What We Do
Robert McChesney
Seems like journalist are letting the big stories fall through the cracks. Maybe they should start with simpler questions. How about who really won the 2000 Presidential election? Or what about the ties between President Bush and Enron? Cheney and Haliburton? Journalists, columnists, and pundits report what politicians and corporate moguls say…not what they do. […]
The Struggle for Indigenous Rights: From Chiapas to Hawaii

Indigenous peoples throughout the world are asserting their rights. Chiapas in southern Mexico and Hawaii in the north Pacific are two of the most important struggles.
