Race Matters
Cornel West
“The problem of the 20th century is the problem of the color line,” wrote W.E.B. Du Bois in The Souls of Black Folk in 1903. Reality and events clearly validate the continuing accuracy of that observation. Racial conflict range from the Rodney King beating in Los Angeles to black-Jewish tensions in New York. Race is […]

From Bandung to Mexico: The Decline of the Third World
Eqbal Ahmad
Interview by David Barsamian
Resistance & the Role of Artists
Howard Zinn
Artists have always been on the cutting edge of society. They are the innovators as well as the seers. Go back to Aeschylus, the great 5th century BC Greek playwright who wrote The Persians. This classic drama was a warning to the Greeks to not be consumed by the same arrogance that was undoing of the Persians. […]
A Progressive Vision for Social Change
Barbara Ehrenreich
Political and economic trends point increasingly to the growth not of democracy but plutocracy, a system by and for the rich. The upper crust benefits at the expense of the many. And it’s not about Democrats or Republicans. They both know and play the game. Most people are aware of what’s going on. A recent […]

Retargeting Iran
Nader Hashemi, Trita Parsi
The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, the JCPOA, the Iran Deal, was a major diplomatic accomplishment. By all accounts it was successful. However, it was unilaterally abandoned by the current president. The UK ambassador to the U.S. called Trump’s move “an act of diplomatic vandalism.” Biden indicates he may return to the deal. Iran and […]
Monocultures of the Mind
Vandana Shiva
Over centuries, communities all over the world have developed knowledge and skills to derive livelihoods from the bounties of nature’s diversity. Today, traditional agriculture is being undermined by external inputs and new rules of international trade. Globalization advocates render local knowledge invisible by declaring it non-existent or illegitimate. Monocultures of the mind generate models of […]
Radical Futures
Noam Chomsky, Angela Davis
2 CDs Angela Davis and Noam Chomsky address topics as wide-ranging as resisting the prison industrial complex and youth-led environmental initiatives. In a Hip Hop-flavored public event organized by Critical Resistance, two legends of the radical pantheon in America appear onstage together for the first time ever.
Democracy & the Failure of Neoliberal Globalization
Joseph Stiglitz
Neoliberal economics has exposed the dark side of the American dream. It took off with Reagan and Thatcher. For most workers incomes have stagnated except for the very rich, whose incomes have more than quadrupled. Biden correctly points out that millions of people have gotten new jobs. But despite that, the typical family is actually […]
Earth to Humans: Enough Already
Bill McKibben
You’ve heard the bad joke right? If the earth were a bank it would be bailed out. We have been diddling while the planet gradually sizzles. Conferences from Kyoto to Copenhagen come and go. Not much happens. The Congress? Well, the interests of big oil and coal come first, earth second. We have waited too […]
Theodore Roosevelt, Mark Twain & American Empire
Stephen Kinzer
Why has the United States intervened so often in foreign lands? What are its origins? Having expanded its borders largely through its destruction of Indigenous peoples the U.S. went on to project its power globally. Today, its empire of bases rings the Earth. According to Monthly Review the U.S. “has at least eight hundred military bases located in eighty-five […]
