Peace in the Middle East
Edward Said
“There can be no peace in the Middle East,” Edward Said contends, “without settling the question of Palestine.” Israelis and Palestinians have no military options. The key to peace, Said argues, “is not exclusivism and unending hostility, but rather reconciliation, sharing and community.” Recorded at the University of Iowa.

This is one of the best recordings of classical Indian music you’ll ever hear. Before an appreciative audience, sitar maestro Chaudhuri explains the structure of Desh, an evening raga often performed during the monsoon season.

Abdel Bari Atwan
Al-Qa’ida, the base in Arabic, first emerged in an embryonic form in 1988. Its core consisted of the Arab mujahedeen fighters who went to Afghanistan to fight the Soviets.

NAFTA: A Critical Reassessment
Elaine Bernard
NAFTA, the North American Free Trade Agreement, was signed by the U.S., Canada and Mexico amid great fanfare. It was supposed to create jobs and prosperity in all three countries. The agreement was cited as proof that Mexico was about to attain First-World status. Look at Mexico today. Its economy is a shambles. The peso […]
Activism On & Off the Reservation
Winona LaDuke
Winona LaDuke recounts how she became an activist. She spoke at the UN when she was a teenager and she never looked back. She says, “The launch of my political career was a kind of baptism by fire. I was thrown right into it.” She began working on the Navajo reservation on uranium mining issues, […]
Corporate Power: Profits Before People
Ralph Nader
“Hats off! It was a heck of a year,” trumpets Fortune magazine. “Productivity gains and relentless restructuring generated impressive profits for the Fortune 500.” Sounds great, doesn’t it? But there’s a disturbing paradox: while corporate profits are soaring, people are getting poorer. Workers are putting in longer hours and earning less. Poverty rates and inequality […]

How Welfare Became a Dirty Word
Linda Gordon
Although welfare takes up only a small part of the budget, it generates an enormous amount of political and media attention. One Beltway pundit says it’s “the most despised government program.” Talk show hosts feed their listeners a steady diet of rhetoric about welfare queens. Welfare recipients are stigmatized as lazy and dependent. The larger […]
