Malcolm X and the Struggle for Black Liberation
William Sales
Malcolm X is one of the towering figures in the struggle for black liberation. He has been identified as an articulator of the rage of black youth and a symbol of pride and defiance. But he was much more than that. Malcolm X was a major thinker and theoretician of black liberation. In the year […]
Imperial Hubris
Tariq Ali
From ancient times, hubris, the Greek word for reckless arrogance, has brought down princes, kings and empires. It is the fatal flaw that undid Achilles. As Homer describes in The Iliad, had Achilles treated Hector, the fallen Trojan hero, with respect, the wrath of the gods would not have turned on him. Uphold the rule […]
American Imperialism in the Middle East
Richard Falk
Just a few years ago to use the word imperialism to describe the U.S. would have automatically branded you as a member of the fringe left. Now the term is openly embraced. The New York Times Magazine lead said it all: “American Imperialism: Get Used to It.” The pundits assure us, we’re different from previous […]
Food Sovereignty
Eric Holt-Giménez
“Food is the weak link that brought down earlier civilizations,” says author Lester Brown. And it could bring our own civilization down if we continue with business as usual. We are entering a new food era, one marked by higher prices, growing numbers of hungry people, and an intensifying competition for land and water. A […]
Freedom in the U.S.A.
June Jordan
Freedom is a wonderful concept. It is universally celebrated. People struggle, fight and die for it. But what is it exactly? In his 1941 address to Congress, Franklin D. Roosevelt articulated his vision of a world founded upon four essential freedoms: freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom from want and freedom from fear. Today, […]
An Indigenous View of North America
Winona LaDuke
Native peoples are at a crossroads. They possess the experience of sustainabilty based on years of observation and tradition. Yet they find their culture stereotyped and demeaned. Because indigenous peoples have the resources, lands and waters demanded by urban areas thousands of miles away, they are targeted by industrialism’s impulse to dominate nature.
The Dream of Revolution
Robin D. G. Kelley
In some ways, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was murdered twice. First by an assassin’s bullet in Memphis and then by killing his revolutionary message. Today, King is largely remembered with special holiday sales. His vision of radical revolution muted. He posed a special threat to the power structure. It was one thing to demand […]
Media Framing of Cultural Destruction: Artsakh & Gaza
Mischa Geracoulis
Artsakh, also known as Nagorno-Karabakh, is a historic Armenian area located in the Caucasus Mountains. In 2023, Azerbaijan invaded and ethnically cleansed the millennial-old Armenian population. The so-called civilized West looked the other way. Looking away has been harder to do in Gaza because of the enormity of the Israeli attack and the sheer scale […]
War Crimes & Imperial Fantasies
Noam Chomsky
When official enemies commit crimes, they must be punished. That is an unquestioned staple of public discourse. Occasionally, as in the torture and killing of prisoners in Cuba, Iraq and Afghanistan, a few bad apples tarnish the reputation of the United States but the doctrine of our basic goodness prevails. In an underreported revelation, recently […]
Cracks in the Empire
Tariq Ali
When the British occupied Iraq after World War I, they were not greeted with celebrations. A revolt began almost immediately. It was brutally suppressed. Shaken by the uprising, Lord Curzon, the Foreign Secretary came up with a plan to run Iraq. He said we must create an “Arab facade ruled and administrated under British guidance […]
