Sexual Violence
Victoria Banyard
Sexual violence occurs from New York to New Delhi and from Denver to Durban. It wasn’t that long ago when even mentioning the subject was taboo. The stigma and shame were overwhelming. Help lines, counseling and rape crisis centers did not exist. In some countries, legal and cultural changes have made reporting easier. But in […]

Robin D. G. Kelley
Historian and author Cedric Robinson defined the Black radical tradition as “the continuing development of a collective consciousness informed by the historical struggles for liberation.” The Black radical tradition is a rich and vibrant tapestry woven by the efforts of many Black people who raised their voices demanding freedom and equality denied to them by […]

Imperialism: Then & Now
Tariq Ali
Joseph Schumpeter in a 1919 essay entitled “The Sociology of Imperialisms,” wrote, “There was no corner of the world where some interest was not alleged to be in danger or under actual attack.

Pushing Back at Amazon
Joe Allen
Amazon, the retail behemoth, is named after the giant river in South America. The company began in the Seattle area in 1994. Since then it has not just grown and expanded but has transformed marketing. Consumers are attracted to in some instances, lower prices but overwhelmingly it’s the sheer convenience of online shopping and home […]
A Palestinian Perspective on the Conflict with Israel
Edward Said
The Palestinian viewpoint is rarely heard in the mainstream media and when it is, like on The O’Reilly Factor or Hardball, it is interrupted and cut off. Palestinians have been demonized and have become virtually synonymous with terrorist. They simply lust for the blood of innocents. There is little or no rational discourse. Context and […]
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 […]
Perpetual War for Perpetual Peace
Gore Vidal
Politicians in Washington of all stripes, whatever the occasion, love to quote the Founding Fathers. But there’s one quote you’ll never hear. It’s from James Madison. He said, “Of all the enemies of public liberty, war is perhaps the most to be dreaded because it comprises and develops the germ of every other. War is […]
Capitalism and the Environment
Chris Williams
James Hansen, one of the leading scientific authorities on global warming, warns: “Planet Earth, creation, the world in which civilization developed, the world with climate patterns that we know and stable shorelines, is in imminent peril. The startling conclusion is that continued exploitation of all fossil fuels on Earth threatens not only the other millions […]
Wars, Bailouts & Elections
Noam Chomsky
In the economic meltdown the term “in history” is routine. E.g., the biggest bailout in history, the largest bank failure in history, the greatest corporate collapse in history, and the stock market’s worst week in history. There are more in histories on the horizon because the fundamental issue is not being addressed. The so-called free […]
